This way, pretty much the only hot takes you see are the takes from people you personally follow. And if you don't like those takes, you can push back because you have an actual relationship with that person, or accept that maybe they are just going through some shit right now and move on with your day, or you just unfollow/mute them and never see their takes again

@darius My suspicion at the moment is that this is the best way to use mastodon (once you've followed enough people that you like). Without some sort of sorting/filtering/searching/better lists to use to consume your timeline, relying merely on boosts and a chronological timeline is an awkward middle ground that #mastodon just isn't ready/capable of providing.

I think this is a house/dinner party of a social media, not a replacement for twitter etc.

@darius I wrote my own twitter app back in the day to just get that.
