Lists are kinda useless, because you have to follow everyone you put in a list
I thought this as well, but I’ve started to think they could be useful if I follow way more aggressively, and create a list that is “what I want on my feed” and default to that. It’s stupidly cumbersome, but would have the desired effect. Of course you’re right that they should just let you add directly to a list - I think the reasoning for the current functionality is to limit stalking/harassment, though I don’t exactly understand how that is inhibited at all.
You have to give up any global feed though
I assume it’s so you can have one for news, and one for nudes, depending on the reason why you opened mastodon. No boner-killing BBC articles in the middle of a fap session.
Or you can make multiple accounts. The app makes it super simple to swap accounts on the fly.
Nah, I like to live dangerously
