For me, the #SocialWeb is about news. Those I follow determine the river I see here, only their boosts deciding how likely I'll see a post (but we're not supposed to see everything). Hashtags should let me filter that by subject matter. Replies should be nested with the most popular on top. Keeping news aggregation (#lemmy, #kbin etc) as a separate service from microblogging (#mastodon etc) is a failure to take advantage of what makes open networks so much better than closed. #AttentionDemocracy
