This has been the case since mastodon's inception. Feature requests that were supported by a wide swath of the community have been shot down by gargron because he controls mainline. Changes have been made before without any discussion with or headsup to admins, even changes that instance admins can't control.

If ppl want that to change, they need to move software. Move to a completely different implementation or move to a masto fork. Stop donating to the mastodon patreon and donate to the forks or other software. Help other groups in the fediverse get more influence so garg doesn't get to run over everyone else.
