Mastodon has a warning system for any platform that supports free speech. I think Musk will not implement it because his fans would find it upsetting.
It's a good idea to keep people away for a little while.
A person you enjoy following has a good time. You don't want to follow them but you don't want to deal with what they're yelling about. They might be talking about a movie you will never watch. Maybe they are livetweeting a sporting event or working up about politics. You don't have a lot of options on the social networking site. Changes are permanent.
Mastodon allows you to limit the amount of time someone is allowed to be on the site to a certain amount. It's a great compromise and should be added to the site.
There is a simple verification process.
In the early days, the purpose of the verification system was to confirm that a given account was actually run by a politician. The checkmark became a status symbol due to the lack of transparency in the system for getting it. Musk's early attempts at reform were mostly a waste of time.
Mastodon has a system that can be used for quick verification. Mastodon will highlight that you control the site on your profile if you link to your Mastodon account with the tag "me". A quick way to confirm your identity is what this gives. It's not a good idea to copy this strategy for "official" accounts. It's possible that Musk wants to make you pay for verification in order to call it democratic.
The button is free.
There is an edit button on the social networking site. If they agree to pay $8 a month, they can get one. Users of Mastodon can have an edit button. He likes money more than he likes you, so he won't give this.
There is actual support for third-party clients.
Third-party clients used to be the best way to use the social network. If you're looking for a nicer way to use a Mac on a social networking site, look at TweetBot. The problem is that the kind of things third-party clients could do was limited because of the restrictions on the account's application programming interface. You can't get notifications for liking or sharing something. The polls are not working. I was able to continue.
This is not a problem that Mastodon has. The official website and applications can't do everything third-party clients can. It's refreshing and something that should be rewarded by the company. That won't happen. It's because...
The following are links to some of the internet's most popular topics.
You can follow accounts on the social networking site. All related posts can be seen on your home screen with the Mastodon tool. It's a great way to find people who regularly post about the subjects you're interested in, but I'm not sure if it should be added to the service.
There are no ads or subscriptions.
Everyone is welcome in the town squares. Admission is not charged and they are not covered by ads. There may be a business next to the town square, but for the most part a town square is a place where people can gather. It would be like that if it were actually a town square. It already is. Mastodon is an open-source program that is owned by a non profit. Volunteers set up the server for the network. moderation is done by volunteers and anyone can set up a server and connect to all of the others.
I don't think he's going to make the service free. He's a businessman, not an engineer, not a free speech advocate, and not a person who cares about community at the end of the day. Even though the money he currently has is not doing much for his mental and emotional health, he would like to have more of it.
The problem is that a town square cannot be a business. The people need to own the space. That's what Mastodon already is, and that's what an Elon MuskTwitter can't be either. If you are interested, I wrote about how to start with Mastodon.
