  1. Mastodon Devs: 3 things are turning away millions of people. Do you have any plans to fix these?
    1. Having to pick a server when you sign up
    2. Have to copy & paste links to other servers because of awkward federation implementation
    3. No quote tweets. Why is this such an issue?

    Mastodon will never take off with the general public until these are fixed. That sucks because open source social media is the future we need #metacommentary #mastodon #mastodondevs

    Re #hashtags. We have a pinned toot about it, it's that important.

    On fedi, use #milkshakeDuck, not simply 'milkshake duck'.

    In addition to being able to import toots, there *does* need to be a way to do #booleanSearch for #hashtags.

    eg. Either/or: #icecream #icecreme #gelato #gelati
    Addition: #icecream #icecreme +#fediArt
    Subtraction: #btc -#nft

    It seems #MastodonDevs are more interested in shadowban functions and #antiFeatures like the #botFarmTimeline, tho.
