Howdy! My take is that, I came to QOTO in part because of the improvements they made to Mastodon when Mastodon devs were stomping their feet against improvements they didn't like.

I figure Freemo just has other things going on, but I do feel like some of the QOTO features have regressed over time. It's not critical for me, though.

Yeah, it's always been annoying that certain accounts can't be read from here due to blocking, but eh, again not critical for me personally.

I see the blocking as a sign that QOTO is doing something right, as their reasons for blocking are exactly where we'd part ways anyway.

My use case here is just to vent. If other people see what I write, great! If not, that's OK too.

Thanks for reply. What you wrote makes sense.

True to say I'm aiming for more but understand how social is today more towards venting / not so much deep diving / self-solving the actual "social" itself... !

Think I wrote plenty before to that effect and appreciate your use case and happy it works for you in that form, while plenty of improvement to be harnessed (also as people AND instances forging friendships themselves too!).

I like the sentence "If other people see what I write, great! If not, that's OK too." :)

Again, thanks.

And just a passing thought to all the USPol going on:

Maybe it's time to move on from Social being almost all about Trump GOP USPol hashtags consuming time. Although some is needed, we're not building each other up or developing internally by spending time there... (just saying people's timeline is too full of that stuff and even spinning for them their own web while we're stuck and stunting in our web / social growth)

Well, different people have VASTLY different views about what Social should be about or what experiences they want. Some don't realize the tradeoffs they're making.

For example, I personally hate the Twitter-style microblogging format specifically because it impedes deep dives. Other people insist on it without necessarily realizing they're losing the deep dive.

Or the person might simply be apathetic to deep dives in the first place.

That's at the technological level. On the social level, folks who hate Facebook-style platforms don't develop the durable connections that engender deep discussion.

In short, a lot of people make technological and social choices to avoid deep discussion, and while that's not my style, they have to follow their own paths.

Personally, I like to see technology that empowers people to make that choice.

I read my reply again and perhaps wasn't worded or in paragraph order but I like the idea we as pairs of people or small groups can do our own thing and use whatever we do like (rather than wait or hate on what was made before)... Peace...
