@staff The live feed was my favorite thing about mastodon. I don't want my feed curated for me and I like seeing whatever random stuff comes through.

We plan to disable the "live feeds" of the local and federated timelines on mastodon.social within in the next couple of weeks. They are already disabled on mastodon.online. While these feeds can be useful on smaller, topical or regional servers, they have limited use on larger servers like ours.
The live feeds present all content on the server immediately and essentially pre-moderation, which presents a particularly poor experience to new users finding the fediverse for the first time.
@staff i agree vith your choise, staff should do staff things.
What's the alternatives? Which instances still have live feeds enabled and are big enough to have a lot of live feed?
Please provide alternative: it will help you too! Some ppl will move out, and that's will make your staff job easier 🫡 -

@staff es una lastima que de manera unilateral se haya tomado ésa decisión. Yo prefiero leer el TL y no seguir # ni usuarios. Espero reviertan esa decisión.

@staff So I can request to have these feeds restored on my account? Is that correct? I enjoy the live feeds, I like to see what's going on out there, outside of my personal curated feed.
@7sleepersmusic @staff Same
I was surprised.I was enjoying the live feed too.
I was looking at the federate timeline and local timeline, and favorited and boosted.
I personally muted the unnecessary commercial accounts and enjoyed the experience comfortably.
Trend is like a Meta social media platform where only the popular become even more popular.

@tundie With these gone, how do people follow and like other peoples stuff?

@Aoi_X_Kaizaki I agree, and honestly they should just go back to the old mode, or at least make it easy for all users to go back to the old mode.

@staff I miss Live Feeds. That is how I populated my Home Feed by scrolling Live Feeds for users in the other federated timelines that I share interest with.

@staff I disagree with this entirely. You need to know what tags to look for to even guess if they exist. Getting to see items that people post in the wild helps people decide who’s worth following and better yet seeing everything and everyone out there on the fediverse.
I really hope you backtrack on this and if you don’t really hope you don’t disable it for any other instances that want to keep using it.
Really really disappointed…..

@staff but I liked the sheer mass of everything in one place all at once, that way I didn't have to follow anything in particular.

We recognize these feeds are useful on smaller servers, they are just not particularly useful on ours.

Décision totalement autoritaire, que ce soit une option à activer si vous voulez, mais vous n'avez pas nous imposer de ne plus pouvoir suivre ou simplement découvrir ce qui ce passe ailleurs. Je tiens particulièrement à conserver la possibilité de parcourir un fil global et un fil local et apparement nous sommes très nombreux dans ce cas.
N'ayant aucune confiance ni dans ma traduction propre, ni dans la traduction via AI, je vous laisse ce soin. -

@staff Large, unmoderated-signup servers have limited use* to the Fediverse.
*are harmful

@staff this is a good decision.

Lots of your users have replied saying they are and they use them.
Who knows better, you, or your users?

Move to a better instance, that doesn't gatekeep how you use it.

@staff These views were optional. New users could ignore them if they wanted.
I'd like both the local and global views restored for me, if possible.I relied on the serendipity these views availed as a window to the Fediverse, allowing the discovery of new people, interests that I couldn't search for because I probably don't know about; ones that are not necessarily trending.
I would have understood a scaling justification, though.
