In many ways, Mastodon feels like rewinding the clock on social media back to the early days of Twitter and Facebook. On the consume side, that means that your home feed has no algorithm (this can be disorienting at first).
Practically, it means that you see only what you want to see and only see it linearly. You never wonder “why am I seeing this and how do I make it go away?”. Content can only enter your home feed via your followed tags or handles and the feed is linear like the early days of social media.
A fine brief on mastodon but it hardly “rewound” anything.
The fedi had been around long before mastodon and even facebook.
So… taking social media to something that existed before Facebook isn’t rewinding?
correct
Look it’s new to a lot of us ok??? 🫣
im sorry you forgot about the rest of the internet.
And you feel this attitude is correct in engaging with people new to the fediverse?
Hope you’re okay.
im genuinely not ok.
the fediverse is worse now than it was a year ago.
