Oh my, the Mastodon conversation is super interesting, and I do think the features present or not in a website have a huge influence on what people expect and how thy conceptualize it--actually, I'd be interested on reading/learning more about that (might try and set up some kind of form someday just to see what kind of data we can collect on that (this is a VERY vague project though))
But also, let's be honest, the though od DW posts becoming rebloggable the way tumblr offers it makes my skin CRAWL xD I like having some kind of control over my content and knowing I can kick people out if they become impossible to talk with. In fact, the reblogging feature is probably THE main reason I haven't managed to get into pillowfort at all so far. I like the culture here, and how things are much chill-er than on sites that allow instant sharing of content (ie tumblr and twitter). I guess it's a ymmv kind of situation, and also unlikely to happen on dw in the near future though, so yeah xD
