Only needed one sentence there to know all I need to. “Currently there is no way to only see people you follow.” Lol so more bullshit like Facebook and Instagram where you get friend, Ad, sponsored post, you might like this, group post, friend, Ad, Ad…
Just another way for Facebook to feed you non stop adverting in between tiny bites of content. We talk about how terrible Reddit is…I don’t understand how my wife uses Facebook at all.
I feel bad for people who will get sucked into this nonsense and enjoy the fediverse through an app that is basically malware come to life.
I think it's like that now cause they rushed release, given Twitter's recent issues.
As of now, there are no ads. The main feed is essentially a jumbled mess of your followers and random popular posts. They say they don't plan to monetize until it's more fleshed out, so we'll see how long that takes.
It'll happen when they capture the biggest portion of Twitter's users. As soon as that happen enshittification shall descend upon it.
