@Gargron I was going to ask this in the AMA, but the post has been removed. Mastodon is probably a better place to discuss this anyway.

I wasn't singling out Reddit here, but there was a touch of irony about it, which is why I used that screenshot. Sites I see daily, like the BBC, are just as guilty.

To my mind, even sites like https://www.openrightsgroup.org/ need to re-jig the icon order - and having two lines of icons seperated with an "... and if you must ..." would be even better.

@Gargron Congrats on your new found fame. You're no #johnmastodon, but maybe one day! :)

@Gargron
I wrote a thread that user questions, problems and suggestions to send to you.
If you can take a look, it's there on reddit

@Gargron Will the nefarious #JohnMastodon be there too??

@Gargron Have fun!

Also, do some of that sub-tooting toward that CEO who is not doing their job correctly, okay Eugen!?

@Gargron this makes kinda sense

@Gargron Good luck 👍

@Gargron Dear u/NotJohnMastodon, you’re currently sat atop a mound of 21,800 karma. It feels great doesn’t it? You must feel very strong inside your karma castle. But who sits inside that karma castle? It ain’t a man or a woman. It’s a little bitch. A little bitch who got so much karma they forgot what it means to be humble. I hope you’re proud of your 21,800 karma points, while people like me sit here all day working out how to get just a fraction of that. I seriously hope you re-evaluate what you just said to me before further action needs to be taken.

@Gargron Have a great AMA!

@Gargron Watch out @skairam, he’s coming for your users too! 🫣

@Gargron
Keep Q's to Rampart only, thanks.

@Gargron This will be great exposure for Mastodon, and I'm excited that it's happening on Reddit. These two are currently the only social sites I use.

#Mastodon #Reddit

@Gargron I commend your bravery.

@Gargron Eugene, you need to add a news aggregation service to Mastadon similar to Apple News. Make it a paid for extra and provide payment back to news companies. It would be a winner for news services and encourage them to join Mastadon. It would also help you attract a larger user base, make money, and challenge Twitter. Apple News is useful but it lacks interaction. Do a deal with them.

@Gargron have fun

@maykl I’m loving that half the questions are asking for roadmap / transparency

@Gargron looks like you been verified. The best ones I read have good interaction both ways. Have fun with it.

@Gargron sehr angenehm, verständlich, zeitgemäß modern und entspannt deine Antworten. Es war äußerst interessant mitzulesen und spätestens seit heute solltest du den Status "Rockstar" deiner Bio hinzufügen! - Hoffe das ist für einen Metaller jetzt keine Beleidigung!? 😊

@Gargron Are you, you today?
