His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.

I don't use Mastadon cause I don't care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.

That is called freedom of choice, apparently people are used to totalitarian system where everything should look the same and perfect for masses.

    Bluesky literally allows people to finetune controls on things like allowing quote posts and replies. Thats way more freedom that the average social media platform gives to a user.

    Yes, but it also makes the experience worse for people that aren't invested in the ecosystem because of privacy or similar reasons.

    If I'm using an app that allows quotes, but my friend isn't and wants to quote a post, they're going to be annoyed.
