(Preface: obviously I have criticisms here :) so this is going to be just my little rant)

I think it channels the Twitter philosophy of being a mindless firehose where it doesn't matter what you miss because you're just expected to be having knee jerk reactions to the latest two sentence comment.

With the character limit, the content was expected to be so vapid that it really didn't matter what you missed: the algorithm would provide you something to react to there at the top, and its not like you were going to miss real information about the world in what happened to scroll by.

I criticize #Mastodon for maintaining much of what made #Twitter kind of awful, and I hope people explore other #Fediverse interfaces that are more useful and healthy.
