On the site formerly (and still) known as Twitter, I missed a lot because it did not show me everything from accounts I followed.
On Mastodon, I miss a lot because I wasn’t browsing my feed at the right time.
This would matter less on Mastodon if my feed was endless and I could browse it until I’d caught up with everything new. But it is not endless, so I can’t.
I don’t see how you can have multiple instances all injecting stuff into my feed, which is what the (other) OP seems to be suggesting? I don’t want any kind of algorithm deciding what I see and definitely not some kind of hyper-competitive inter-instance competition for my attention. But I wouldn’t mind if Mastodon worked out what I hadn’t yet seen from the accounts I follow and put it into my feed while I’m actually browsing it.
Do not post everything twice. FFS. If I’m interested in a topic I’ll subscribe to all the relevant communities for approximately zero hassle. Spamming feeds is just annoying and multiple identical threads make it impossible to follow the conversation. Quit it, please.
Most people will not put their time and energy into running an instance which is destined to become a fascist playground with policies like those. You might not like it but in this real world that we are all forced to live in, that is what those policies lead to.
