Using Mastodon often feels lopsided: positive reactions are subtle and small, yet negative comments are notifications right in your face!

A small tweak (e.g. don't show randos' comments as prominently) could make things feel calmer, more like a group of friends.

This screenshot shows how the Mastodon web app tries to fix this. I bet most casual users don't even know it's there.

If you do use these options, could you reply with what works best? Any suggestions? (private mentions welcome)
