Honestly the Musk takeover has made me realize how many of you are reading tweets in the order offered by the algorithm. I've always read in chronological order so I feel like I'm having a totally different experience right now.

@annmlipton Right? Especially those of us who used Latest Tweets with an adblocker. Mastodon feels just like home.
@annmlipton Yep. Although I do wish likes would bubble up the best replies like they do on Twitter. That was helpful to identify the best conversations below popular tweets. I have no idea what order replies are on this system (they don't always appear to be chronological).
@LouisIngenthron I keep seeing Mastodon people say "likes don't have the same effect here; they only tell the poster you liked the post" and my reaction is ... that's what I've always used them for? I had no real awareness they had another effect.
