@kelspace @candle incidentally I think my idea of being able to follow arbitrary users (if with limited interaction) would help this significantly; that way it becomes a little more like a sensible email policy, where *you* decide which individuals on other instances you want to hang out with

bleh that might just make it harder to understand though? :(

@typhlosion @candle yeah I absolutely don't know how to balance the complexity that makes mastodon special with my own need for things to be simple enough to understand. I guess I'm just haunted by Google Plus (which had other problems, but) going 'sort your friends into circles!!' and me going 'yes, brilliant' and my friends going 'ugh what no u nerds that one extra step's a dealbreaker'

I can see both sides but personally I am only getting more overwhelmed, instead of more confident.

@kelspace @candle yeah :(

i'll lab some things out and play with some ideas, and maybe be able to work on some of this stuff for the sake of making mastodon better
