since anyone can create an instance with very little barrier to entry, people will just create instances to spam/harass anyways. i kind of like that tbh. it's like an irc network where anyone can attach a node.

i just would like to lol at how, somehow, the password reset emails and such from the mastodon instance i signed up for long long ago now come in with a big "[SPAM]" in the subject like, they're not flagged by gmail as spam, it's literally text in the subject. idk if they're doing this as a troll or if it's somehow being injected by an intermediary

email and web forums were created a billion years ago, mastodon is six years old, i don’t think it’s totally crazy to expect some level of privacy in a product that new

is this site supposed to be so hard to use? surely i don't need an account on every server, do I?

Nope. you can still follow people on any* server from your home account. *provided your home server isn’t basically 4chan and blocked by everyone

Kazinsal posted:mastodon exists for the same reason that all other foss for decentralized platforms exists: so internet weirdos can have their own fiefdoms in which they are the local god-emperor but their e-serfs can still talk to e-serfs in other dork-nobles' fiefdoms why do all the blogs describe this as being like email? this is very obviously just irc. i want my own server so i can be oper!

how long until mastodon gets an eris, and they have to declare a separate eris-free mastodon? actually i bet this has already happened

so far most of the people i’m interested in following are theoretically going to mastodon, but not really posting anything there. when twitter actually goes down then this will probably change really fast i’m not a big believer in the mastodon model or anything but it does seem to have a lot more momentum behind it than any of the alternatives

two microblogging disasters for the price of one https://twitter.com/triketora/status/1594353777175367680 they also just hired new moderators, and it's somehow not clear whether that actually made the situation better or worse kliras fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Nov 20, 2022 |

not really sure about mainstream acceptance ever happening if it remains common for large, general-audience instances to fediblock other large, general-audience instances for having, like, a cop as a user ACAB, but people who barely understand the federation concept are not going to love logging in to a bunch of friends disappeared

1. sign up for mastodon.social, the biggest instance, because it's the default and, anyway, it's like email! you can talk with anyone! it's cool. 2. find out that mastodon.social is blocked by a bunch of instances because it is big and some of its users are jerks as a matter of probability. 3. start up your own solo instance so that this doesn't happen again. no gods no masters. 4. end up paying €600 per year to post: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/109308704512847392

setting up an account on Mastodon is like the first time I ran Linux, asked "so what do I do with this" and went back to windows which at least didn't make me fall asleep looking at it
