I can't believe Mastodon has had completely arbitrary follower counts determined by whoever is serving the profile all these years: So basically on Mastodon each user can basically pick a number and decide that's it and the entire network will just accept it -- or perhaps "question it", but just accept it most of the times. And people say Mastodon is better than Nostr or has "solved" that side of the UX while Nostr is awful because follower counts are different depending on how you look.

Yup, if you're the server admin you can make it say/show whatever you want lol. You can even make it show you joined in 1776 if you wanted.

Did not know that 😂. A proximity metric, based on your follows, could be more useful. Similar idea to "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" however between you and them.

Outrageous. The main problem that Mastodon suffers from is its lack of nips.

Whats the deal with this? I've only been on mastodon a few times but it was actually full of commies, climate alarmists, etc. Is there a reason for this?
