Strongly agree. Mastodon is alright and I use it a little, but the twitter-type format never really worked for me. I feel like when I have to follow individual people I usually end up either following no one or being forced to follow people who post things that interest me sometimes but a lot of the time post things that really don't. Following particular topics or threads just seems much more natural to me; I can look at exactly what interests me and nothing more.
Does that really make it totally apolitical though?. Like obviously it's not inherently attached to a wide reaching political ideology, but it still is political in the same way that any free software is kind of political.
Just found this community and saw nothing had been posted in a while so I figured I'd post my rice as it stands right now and hopefully bring a little more attention to it, since unixporn on Reddit has always been a nice source of inspiration. Definitely a bit rough around the edges and updates have made a few things a little off but anyway.
