I am completely ok with this. Let the mainstream have their thing and keep mastodon weird. Right now it’s got a usenet/bbs vibe and I love it. That goes away as the mainstream/tide comes in.

Totally agree with that. It’s kind of like Reddit vs HN, the latter of which I’m done with..:I just feel more like a person here

Latter refers to the item at the end of the list, i.e. that HN is the one you're done with. Prior is one of the words that's acceptable to refer to the start of the list.

>Prior is one of the words

I hear former more commonly that prior. Out of geo-curiosity, where is prior used?
