 1/ @jess Good points & valid criticism! My opinion: > Quote-tooting IINM, Mastodon quote posts will allow you to prevent others from quoting you. I like them as a way to add to something someone else has written while crediting them. > I like my instance, whatever's seen here is just fine for me. Fair enough! Moderation (blocking, defederation etc.) must affect the replies you see. Current downside: There is a lot of useful information that people on small servers miss out on. 2/ @jess Global search must be opt in (it already is for server-local full text searching). Some people have difficulty of finding accounts to follow. A global search of profiles and an algorithm can help (if it’s done well). 3/ @jess I use them when I have a thought and don’t want to look like I’m criticizing a fresh post from someone else. Or when I have already posted too much about a given topic. Or when I’d like to promote something I have written at the best possible time but am not home at that time. okay! :) this makes sense. I'm glad to learn some of the changes will be opt-IN. edit: IMHO, may be it'd be nice if some are noted as upcoming changes that lots even most of people support, rather than problems/bugs that need fixing. And noting which will be Opt-IN (hopefully most) vs. Opt-out. thanks for your survey and asking these questions. It's very cool, and very Mastodonian of you to do so. |

well, I mean, if you want to know...
Quote-tooting. I don't understand why it's needed, when Replying is right there. It seems like quote-tooting would be like quote-tweeting, where it's like-- Ohhh, let me gain clout by telling you my deep feelings about this post. If you have feelings or opinions about it, just reply like a normal person. Engage with the original tooter, right?
And maybe, seeing all replies, and aspects of a profile. If my server doesn't see it (because it's not federated with theirs, possibly for very good reasons), I'd rather not add it to what my mind needs to digest. I like my instance, whatever's seen here is just fine for me.
Global search - the very LAST thing I want is people to search my toots by keywords or whatnot. that's how harrasment happens. Also That's why god invented hashtags.
Scheduled posts. If you schedule toots, which seems to take the humanity out of it, please flag them as such so I can insta-block. If you need to schedule saying Happy New Year!, rather than like the rest of us trying to connect via our relative's poor wifi, then you not my people.
Sorry, just IMHO. See? I told you, I'm in the minority.
