I value your opinion. What do you mean by format? Couldn't you just use a different UI?

    It's kind of you, but not a huge deal. When I tried it (when there was an initial migration to Mastodon), it was so decentralized that you couldn't really have much of a feed and it was tough to find much of anything.

    The secret to Mastodon is to follow hashtags, not people. (It took a while for that feature to mature, which made that difficult earlier on.)

    You can follow people too, but with the population there being lower, it generally makes more sense to follow a topic and hide accounts you don't want to see.

    Caveat: I don't spend a lot of time on microblogging platforms, Mastodon or otherwise. The above knowledge might be stale, but used present tense to not give the impression the platform is dead.
