@feditips I don't have a github account to comment there but fwiw as a user I would strongly object to a forced referral value and consider it a turn against privacy on Mastodon. Leave our links alone!

Suggestion to frame the chronological timeline differently - it is, in fact, the fediverse's killer app. It's the reason most people land here, to escape the inscrutable manipulation of the capitalist services. You can't go anywhere else for a feed which is entirely of your own choosing, presented in an obvious and comprehensible way. Embrace the chronological feed

@dansup
That's good to hear. Thank you for the clarification and for your concern for privacy on the fediverse. Let's continue to innovate privacy-respecting ways to keep everyone safe!
