  1. Lastodon - Mastodon Minus Malware

    > Fediverse server with anti-features removed + blocks bad servers CloudFlare, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and others. It removes three recently added anti-features, ie. there's NO Explore Timeline, the display of Like Counts without opening toot is removed, and we make JS optional again.

    Thank also Mastodon's #TopStories (ahem — "Explore") timeline, the display of #likeCounts and boost counts on all toots, and the new "Verified" feature.

    BTW, does that timeline *ever* get replaced by the Local timeline?

  3. Mastodon now betrays #Fediverse ideals by defaulting to an "#Explore" timeline that features popular (read: possibly gamed) toots.

    Expect an influx of personas gaming the #PopularityModel, eg. corporates setup say 500 accounts in a #botFarm that post things friendly to their interests, using the other 499 accounts on rotation to Boost and Like the toot so it seems popular.

    We saw this coming when #Mastodon started showing Like totals without opening the toot.

    We suggest to #ForkMastodon asap!
