mastodon in theory: decentralized twitter
mastodon in practice: what if we pooled ten different early-2000s opinionated web forums together into a thunderdome
@mavica_again Who rules Rantertown?!

Next up - instances linking to each other through a webring.
@diffrentcolours this implies instances are good, my original post is a slight against the current (and likely foreseeable future) of the fediverse
🎏
@mavica_again @Alexis Yeah, it really is time we went... beyond thunderdome.
@mavica_again I don’t know, sounds pretty rad to me. :)
@mike i get tired of childish squabbles and constant fighting
@mavica_again now it sounds like you’re describing Twitter. ;)
@mavica_again mastodon, now with new and interesting problems that will make you want to tear your hair out!
@Atatra none of these problems are new or interesting
@mavica_again yeah, fair, they do still make me want to tear my hair out though
@mavica_again that sounds way more awesome than it actually is
@wolfcoder maybe endless discourse just isn't for me
@mavica_again I don't think its healthy for anyone to be honest
I was thinking it's like a whole bunch of dysfunctional neighborhoods with a few hyper-loud folks running the place as an HOA.
for the record this is absolutely a slight against mastodon
