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.

Huh, it turns out anti-ad extremism is a thing after all. Your behavior here is especially odd when the developer himself is an active user you can easily reach out to, and there's a dedicated community for constructive discussion of the app; yet you would rather compare its ads to people dying instead. And you'd say Sync is what makes everything worse somehow, out of all things in the world?

I am not vocally questioning your intention at this point in time, and would rather not be forced to. Do know that this is not a good look, and please mind your behavior going forward. Thanks.
