nope, I prefer open in new tab by default
That's a good user setting, but as opening in the same tab is the default browser behaviour then it should really stay that way. Opening in a new tab takes control away from the user.

#32Very cool but I would like to be able to create an account with my mail address instead of using a Mastodon account because I am trying to avoid social media.

In general, it's better not to force an action onto users. You might prefer things opening in a new tab, but you always have that option. If it's forced on users, it is frustrating for those who would prefer that not to happen.
If you don't like it, adjust it for yourself with an extension or script.

#34I think the links should open in the same window (like they do here on HN) instead of in a new tab/window. If I want a separate tab, I can Cmd+click and Browsers don't have the reverse option for opening in the same window.

why the downvotes, I meant to demonstrate that I prefer the current behaviour so the site developer knows.

#38I call it bubblewire. Funny. I had no prior knowledge of bubbles.town until seeing it here now.
bubbles.town looks nice! Hope to see more projects that aim to bring back the good old web.

#39I’ve been perusing Bubbles increasingly often since discovering that my blog is syndicated there, a few weeks ago. It feels really refreshing compared to doomscrolling of social media, or indeed even to HN. It’s so diverse and humane. The indie blogosphere is coming to life. Kudos to the author. A great idea, splendidly executed. I hope it grows and doesn’t change much.
The "My" tab looks like it covers the same ground as a feed reader would. I wonder who the audience is for that feature.
