Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

Decentralisation is enormously important and I believe it in whole-heartedly. But decentralisation is also far less efficient, from both usability and cost perspectives. I would very very much like ActivityPub to be A Thing but even though I am pretty great at writing software and consider the internet to be my actually true home town I don't have a mastodon account because I am not really a 'joiner' who self-identifies as something straightforward, like 'gay' or 'a fan of a band' or 'a nazi' and it seems like that's basically what the situation is vis a vis servers. I'd run my own instance like you, but I don't want to pay cash money to make tweets even less people read than my twitter account.

The fact that signing up kind of invites a yawning existential angst is sort of against it as a product, is what I'm saying.
