Imagine a social media 'platform' where you get to see what is interesting to you. Where you get to see what you have asked for, not what the billionaires' algorithm wants you to see.

@mike@flipboard.social Once quote posts are implemented in the next version it'll be the most feature rich of all the microblogging platforms.

@Mike Fraser :Jets: :flag: You really believe that Mastodon 4.5 will outclass Sharkey, the most powerful Misskey fork ever?

In order to achieve that, Mastodon would also have to add, among many other things

full HTML post rendering (including embedding an unlimited number of images within posts, as in with text above and below them; something that the *keys can't do)
text formatting via Misskey-flavoured Markdown or even more expanded Markdown
emoji reactions
full awareness of threaded conversations
full tree-style thread view with real-time updates as a default in all timelines
unlimited polls
Mastodon post import including file attachments
Pleroma/Akkoma post import including file attachments
Misskey/Sharkey/Calckey/Firefish/Iceshrimp-JS/CherryPick/Catodon/Meisskey/Neko/Tanukey/... post import including file attachments
Twitter post import including file attachments
Facebook post import including file attachments
Instagram post import including file attachments

Even then, Mastodon won't be a match for Friendica, much less (streams) and Forte or even Hubzilla.
