When i said “designed for discussion” I meant that Mastodon posts are displayed in chronological order instead of sorted by engagement.
I agree that would result in a commercial failure, but Mastodon is not commercial, not does it have an obligation to grow. So it seems to be working very well for the people who do use it.
Chronological order is pure hell if someone shitposts 30 times a day. And it’s not like this is a wrong use for social media app to be blocking such a user or something.
