A valid point is that users who do not publish anything anybody would like to read cost resources, too.
If I'd run a server I wouldn't want those people neither.
But isn't it better to ignore them than to give them a reason to present themself as victims of censorship?
If there are no timelines people who post stuff nobody likes to see will not find any readers.
I agree with #Purisms idea that timelines are a problem and am thankful they disabled them.
Can't do that with news.
The problem with news is that you have to read all the bullshit before you put people in your filter.
Mastodon as I came to know it is an opt-in system. Empty until I found how to search for a phrase or hashtag.
I had to follow interesting people from my search results first, before I've got any toot automatically showed.
I had to build my content by following and looking for #hashtags.
Sitll only luck? Or do bad experiences come with local and global timeline?
