I unreservedly support the changes the Mastodon creators are making.
Better discovery of content and people is essential.
Too many people want post quoting for it to be ignored, and individual app developers are responding to that demand which is causing compatibility problems due to the lack of an official quoting standard.
And finally, too many people find this choosing an instance thing too confusing. So let’s get them using the platform and introduced to the Fediverse, and then they can migrate to a more suitable instance if they wish.
If Mastodon hadn’t responded in this way, an opportunity would have been lost, and the same people who screwed up global discourse would get a second chance to do it all over again. We simply cannot allow that to happen. So good on ya Mastodon. Go for it.
