mastodon is fun if you find the right crew but it is totally not a twitter replacement

I’m all retrocomputing, gardening, and astronomy and it’s chill

people who freak out about you not CWing a photo of a dog or a tomato that you grew are freaks and should be blocked—unless you signed up on an instance that hates dogs or tomatoes, which is possible, as mastodon is a PITA to get started on :banjo:

every time i think of mastodon i think of eugen spending basically his whole life making it and then trump comes along and forks it for truth social and there's not a single goddamn thing eugen can do about it.

why?

even if they were forced to release the modified code they're running, their "secret sauce" isn't in the code. it's in their willingness to be a platform for the type of content they're willing to be a platform for
