No "algorithm" shoving ads down your throat. Just a timeline of the accounts you follow with the posts in chronooogical order.

Well, I won't debate whether "cool" is the right word. But ideologically I think federation is better than centralization when it can be made to work in practical terms, and Mastodon works.

It shoves dark mode down your throat whether you want it or not. What could be cooler than that?

      Really. Where? Unhelpful answers of the form "Just install extension X for browser Y and use it to run script Z" are all anyone has ever been able to suggest when I've asked this question elsewhere.

        If you click on Preferences, it's under Appearance which is the first section you see. You can change the site theme to a light option. At least on Mastodon.social.
