Mastodon - No link previews, uploading an image includes a link to that image in the post?
It's like a computer programmer tried to design a social network.

@indi BTW you got my follow almost immediately. The next time I checked.
@deshipu Right. People tend to group 'everything Facebook does is right because it's popular' and 'everything Google+ did was wrong because it's not.'
You described it perfectly.
@indi I also now get your most recent post from 8/16 in your profile window. So that's great. Thanks.
@indi No. Something must be wrong.

Mastodon is the sexy new upstart. But glad to see standard protocols are letting me follow people from many different SN software. I hope this is part of the future.
@deshipu Like: this 90s movie with dragons bombed, so people don't like movies with dragons. Game of Thrones is doing amazingly well, people must now love dragons.
Maybe it wasn't the dragons.
@deshipu That's the problem with a lot of thinking. Something fails, but people refuse to learn good lessons from the failure. To separate what was good to what caused the failure.
What I really want is a social network that lets you put posts in categories. And people can say 'No, I don't want Shawn's political posts, yes I do want his tech posts. No, he posts too much about Star Trek.'
More likely: Yes to personal updates, no to everything else.
I guess I just described Google+. Why aren't new social network sites incorporating this innovation?
I really like Wire messenger. As secure as Signal, almost as private, but also lets you be anon, if that's what you want. As a bonus, it's truly multi-device (but no server stored history).
