Meta: Mastadon vs OtherPlace
One thing I love about 
#Mastodon is the fact that they explicitly give you the controls they denied you on the b**dsite.
For example: I can filter *everything* with a keyword. This semi-worked in the #OtherPlace, but not reliably, never for adverts, and not for the other crap they forced you to see.

And thankfully there is no annoying “you should follow these random accounts and celebrities” and “give us your address book so we can annoy your friends and colleagues too” bull ever ten posts.

@trinsec Exactly this. I never understood why something liked/hearted/favourited was—to use the modern vernacular—boosted to that person’s entire audience. Is it really that important it requires promotion?

@nullifidian OH THAT ANNOYED THE HOLY FUCK OUTTA ME TOO!
Sorry, but it really irked me over there. I also don't fucking care who my friends liked... if they wanted to share it they can retweet it with me instead... why must a simple like also bother me? I saw no posts from my buddies, only likes likes likes. That's not interaction!
