@rysiek Gee Lance really doesn't get it does he. But he comes from the planet of V. P. s.

@rysiek

@rysiek that article is written by someone who takes them self waay too serious. Djeez. 😅

@rysiek

“I registered on the upstart social media platform using, as I always do, my full name: "LanceUlanoff" to protect it from potential social media identity poachers (they're everywhere).” 🤣

@rysiek like a bad wine that already turned to vinegar.

@rysiek love how this guy keeps looking directly at the concept of instances and refuses to understand its the entire point

@rysiek @Alice What a bizarre article. The author seems to have no idea how Mastodon works.

@rysiek

🎉 🐘

@rysiek I feel like William Shatner's ability to use anything is a bad metric of its usefulness 😂

@rysiek Pretty sure "not being found online by William Shatner" is a good thing.

@rysiek

Can they find POTUS though? 🤨

@rysiek "William Shatner can't find you" is a selling point, if anything.

@rysiek Well done, Mastodon! But I mainly feel old now...

@rysiek honestly, from what I understand about the 2017 version of Mastodon, this is a pretty solid take.

Mastodon has matured a LOT since then. The federation clearly tripped him up quite a bit, but I took a lot of the article as constructive criticism at worst.

Either way, it's come very far. I still hate "toots", though. That's one of the single worst things about this platform. Can we just come up with a different name???

@rysiek even better this sweet moment passed unmarked

@rysiek is "4) Handles are meaningless" something they changed later? I have a URL for my name?

@rysiek Aged like fine wine.

@rysiek
Reading the article I just kept thinking..."So fuck off back to Twitter then?"
I'll stay here without the Nazis myself. But hey, at least Shatner will be able to find you...right?

@rysiek

“Twitter has grown about all it ever will and is struggling to please investors and drag its stock price back up out of the basement.
But it's still our Twitter and when looked at in comparison to Mastodon, it looks good.”

*hooks thumbs in suspenders and gently whistles* yep, I remember when they said that vaudeville was dead! Just you wait, the new generation will go ape for tumblin’!

@rysiek ...the lack of reading of any of the extremely basic information about Mastodon that was, I'm pretty sure, /on/ the sign-up page he used, it's truly impressive.

@rysiek Skill issue.

@rysiek
Musk buying Twitter was a big help, though.

@rysiek yeah this platform is TOTALLY dead /s

@rysiek@mstdn.social this article gives me the same vibes as that one cuphead review
