I can't stand so many things about the twitter style of social media.

  • Based around following people: not communities or topics. If I follow a person, I have to see all of their posts no matter how unimportant to me it is. I might like a person's input on star trek, I really don't care if they're drinking their second red bull that morning.
  • There are tags, but no voting, no sorting, and no moderation, so they're mostly garbage.
  • No way to see what's popular: or sorting based on voting whatsoever. Updates stream in, which means you can't subscribe to more than a few people unless you want your entire day to be gone.
  • Length-limited content emphasizes gotcha soundbytes, and not discussion.
  • No tree-based commenting: meaning I have to click into a lot of threads just to see replies.

AFAIK, some instances have a way to view popular posts on the "/explore" page. The instance I just migrated from had it, but the one I am on now doesn't, so it isn't all of them.
