@maxine this article sounds like complete garbage.

OK, I do agree with the notion that the features aren't picked well and that some are not good.

The reason seems too much leaned onto Twitter again, but are valid.

Though, I have other reasons and there are Msatodon alternatives (pleroma being the most popular)

Honestly, I hope they stay on Twitter and stop writing BS like this, but well.

At least she gets her 15 minutes of fame.

"[...] Some users chat about democratic socialism [...]"
"Visiting Mastodon feels like strolling through the first “apolitical” social network. [...]"

Is this journalism now?

First paragraph is already quite telling.

"[...] It runs off a decentralized social media software called Mastodon, and is part of a much larger network of Mastodon communities."

It's also a lot of pleroma and other software instances, not only Mastodon, but OK

Showing off how much the fediverse is understood already.

I agree though, this is not Twitter and that's good

To sum the first part up:

Because people aren't constantly enraged about some fastfood and constantly talk about 45 and are, more or less, just as a hell site as Twitter that causes constant anxiety and you have to fight off bad faith people 100% of the time,

it's apolitical and bad.

Because that's the only politics that exist, ever. If you are not constantly enraged, you are not political, that author says so.

twitter users imagining the trump-take-less hellscape of mastodon

Bad joke: What's it called when you delve into a market for tiny batteries for your tablet pen? 

A 4A foray.

@evan highly ironic to me that a privileged white woman would talk about the POC political experience on Mastodon without the slightest hint of irony.

@themorgangoats this one isn’t as funny to me as the one where the writer said they could “check in with the lulz at Bofa.lol”

@viomi as Eugen has repeatedly stated, .social is not the only instance! that’s the entire point!

“Mastodon is crumbling because it’s users don’t want to write the same three jokes about trump everyone on the other website is doing” fuck off

transphobia 

If you're wondering what the political situation is for trans women in the UK is, I pulled this off a lampost on my walk to uni

Lying in bed on a snowy morning, listening to Boards of Canada, one cat purring next to me, the other purring from inside the closet by the window. Dozy. Cozy. Warm toes.

doing my part to bring liberals to mastodon
