What I am hopeful will soon be improved/added to Mastodon:
* better search, cross instance (including in ppl's bio)
* better display of boosts, favs, etc.
* direct message in their own column
* more control over the interface (adding more columns)
* a twitter bridge so users can re-post their toots to the centralized thing, to drag users towards the light
* plugins on instances so they can differentiate even more
* more capybaras

@jz End to end encryption on private messages ? :-)
@jz Creepypastas from the crypt.
@jz cool! You should consider opening a github issue for some of these, to let the maintainers know what you'd like to see.
@jz @ashfurrow there is already many ways to do the twitter bridge. Run a little python script, or using IFTTT. Though I wonder the real impact of cross-posting as a method to invite people to switch. I usually unfollow cross-posters because they are mostly not here to discuss. I do sometimes cross-post myself on social networks that I left and never saw anyone following me where I actually am as a result of that. What's your experience?
@jz it will be great when we'll be able to toot to someone on Twitter, i.e. @goozby@twitter.com
