That shifts the focus from the content to the author, however. That goes against the whole point of Twitter-like designs.

You may as well sign up and follow Mastodon on Friendica or Diaspora.

@ekes There's always multiple viewpoints on things. It's an experiment after all. I'll probably continue to use another mastodon client. I like being able to see things through different lenses. I mean, I also have 4 web browsers installed.

@terhechte Well, you didn't say where this will be going, yet you pointed out how it feels more natural, hence my response.

Experimentation is important for inspiration, but especially with ActivityPub it's easy to forget that design choices and restrictions have purpose. And due to a lack of tools on mastodon, people can be eager to adopt the wrong habits.
