A thoughtful blog post from Vlad Campos about a sort of “paradox” with Micro.blog’s integration with the fediverse. Most software design is a series of tradeoffs, and while imperfect I think the decisions we’ve made are right for Micro.blog. But we can evolve too… Trying to keep an open mind.
@manton My $.02: If people want/need to know who’s following them, micro.blog’s extensive cross-posting to platforms built for that kind of engagement meets the need. There’s no need for micro.blog itself to replicate what every social-media platform already does. And that micro.blog does not do follower counts etc. is a useful reminder that we don’t have to do things the way we learned to do them on Twitter back in the day.
