@tchambers very clear list and agreee on all of them. I hope most of those will be fixed on Mastodon by the end of the year (at least that’s the plan).

#3 is still one that I don’t have many doable ideas on how to fix properly 😞

@tchambers @mastodonmigration @laurenshof @cheeaun @rolle @scottjenson @zeldman Mastodon was always sold to the end user as the community when its actually just the software that can run a community. The term join Mastodon is fundamentally flawed, it's like saying join the world wide web instead of saying go to my web site. The emphasis should be building great communities that just happen to interooerate with each other. That shift in perception addressees a few of the great sins (def not all)

Great writeup of the Original Sins, Tim! And behind these ones on the list is a long list of the Thousand Papercuts, from misplacing mentions at start of the reply body text (when a perfectly good mention field exists in the protocol) to inability to remember the readers' position in their (reverse chron and random) timeline. The papercuts could be solved by the client, but increase friction all the same.
