"Again, Twitter's interface was very intentionally designed to maximize the amount of time per day a person spends online. The Fediverse really doesn't need that, but it has it anyway. That's why I'm proposing that we reevaluate the way we design Fediverse interfaces and clients in light of how we can best strike a balance between creating a positive experience and one that puts the well-being of the person using your product first."

That is becaus in the end people get what tey look for with their actions and choices, no matter how many clients are developed with a nn adictive interface, if what people choos with their actions is adictive cliente there is nothing you can do in the long run.

Is true what you say in the 2nd paragraph, so the best we can aim for is to make good and non adoctive fediverse clients fore those willing to have apps like that
