Those aren't the only things, just my brain isn't functioning right now 😁

There are additional safety features too such as hashtag searching instead of full text searching, it means people opt into discussions by including hashtags and it's harder for "reply guys" to strike on random people.

Also Lists require you to follow people on them, so that you can stop people adding you to lists by blocking them.

Most of the features that people find complicated here are for safety or anti-addiction purposes.

The biggest safety feature is being spread out on many servers, there are many reasons for it: fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse

Oh yeah, another anti-addiction thing: you can't see post stats when browsing a feed. This means you're judging posts by their content, not by the numbers under them.

(You can see stats if you enlarge a particular post though.)
