Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way (chrlschn.medium.com)

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.

I mean, you guys are stuck with me as your only real celebrity for a while... (and the Debian logo design person.)

Wow. Finally got a reply from her! Big fan of what you’re doing (you know, the Barbie movie and whatnot).

Big fan of what you’re doing.

You mean striking against the studios and shitposting on Lemmy?

Someone has to fight the good fight

Two of the most glorious goals in life, striking to shit head corporations for a better future and shit posting.

I remember back in 2000s 2 or 3 guys were so misinformed that Bruce Wills himself joined the comments and explained the movie industry doesn't work that way. Of course they didn't believe it was him and they ended up being video called by him to "prove" it is really him. I will find that page one day. In the 90s it was common that a famous actor/producer discuss ongoing things with the fans.
