i still like how cohost development tends to go. every so often the staff will drop a fix for some minor thing we've all grown used to, or a wild site improvement like the new Following page.
compare that to twitter where any time they changed something everyone would complain because it was obnoxious, or they'd drop a new feature nobody wanted.
or say bluesky, which added reddit-style threading but is mostly depending on its users to develop feeds and such. every major problem on there, like all images being scaled down to 1mb and a lower resolution so you can't post high-quality art, or the fact that there are no private accounts, is delayed until they finish atproto federation
