@dansup @pixelfed thanks for your efforts with Pixelfed, Dan.

I know it's Threads federating and not Instagram, but if that experiment goes well and someday it's Instagram that's federating, I would seriously consider taking my Instagram account and hopping aboard Pixelfed instead.

More than any of the other ActivityPub services, Pixelfed and Firefish were what made me realize I wanted to back the federated future because those two services really brought home the diversity of options that decentralized social media makes possible.

@Gargron Much respect for considering this!

As a long time consumer of online communities, my sense it that the real danger with Quote Posts isn't harrasment (which can happen plenty of other ways), but they help basic misunderstandings to accelerate into angry conflict.

Giving the user the choice should greatly address that concern w/people who don't want that drama. The worst dog pile I was under came via friendly accounts after one person amplified one misunderstood one post in a thread.

@feditips this is one of my favorite features. We gripe about "the algo" a lot here, but one thing the algo could do was help you see the accounts you were most interested in. I never saw my friends' posts until I started using the notify feature.

I didn't know the official Mastodon app didn't have it, but it's actually available on the website version.

@dansup they鈥檙e like your favorite pens. No matter how many you buy, you will quickly be down to only one and you have to defend it with your life.
