@bastianallgeier This is a great memory. Been trying to explain to folks over on a subreddit how Mastodon (and all of the Federated Services) is different from birdsite for a couple of days now. People tend to forget (I wasn't on it in 2008) how weird their favorite site was at its' inception.
Not that Mastodon is weird, it's just not what birdsite currently is. And some people don't get it.
