"the admins" will potentially be a different group of people, self-selecting, for every person you dm though. mostly mastodon is extremely obviously a technology solution for a social problem. and a very leaky abstraction making sure the issues of the technology will be very visible to users. you better care who runs what and how they peer, or what's the point?

man, tempted to make my position extremely radical by suggesting that people shouldn't be on twitter either. but cool cool, didn't realize that the mastodon issues were well understood, will tell my mom to sign right up.

it genuinely confuses me why this is even a thing. lets all switch to the social network which is designed to make it practically impossible, as far as 99% of the users go, to kick people like trump and alex jones off it. because the thing we used last might unban those people? certainly hoping twitter dies, but this is the lolbertarian decentralized option where every individual is going to use technology to make informed choices to create a good social situation. upsides of course that it'll never go anywhere anyway.

yeah. i mean, i don't fault anyone for messing about a bit with mastodon, but they should be prepared that it'll be catnip for libertarian weirdos and endless peering drama.
