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.
