    1. Mastodon's "CW" (content warning) feature is good and Twitter should copy it.

      but for real: it is good for warning about difficult content (obviously), it is good for letting you talk about mundane stuff and letting other people skip it, but most importantly, it is very good for jokes.

        see, it turns out that one very good structure for humour is setting up a situation, requiring the listener to demonstrate engagement, and only then delivering the punchline

          another thing that Twitter should steal from Mastodon is "Delete and re-draft". it gives you most of what people want from an edit button, but without the messy side effects (uh, other than weird interactions with the thread editing interface...)
