it's interesting how often new users begin requesting Mastodon features after they sign up. even if the requests are sometimes phrased in an entitled way, it shows they understand the experience is flexible and users/developers have more control.
Compare this to Instagram, where just about everyone would love to be able to post links. But there are no campaigns for URLs on Instagram bc there's no one visible to complain to about it.
