My problem with Mastodon is it always feels like shitposts are not allowed here.
But shitposts are important ecosystem barometers for banter; an early warning guidepost to approaching the maximal allowed discourse.
Without shitposts, you have no constantly governed North Star in your community because you have no measure of its distance – only shallow and stricting fear of nonconformity. Like fish that choke without oxygen from water burbling over brooks, without shitposts your dreams of a blooming dialogue will dry into a wasteland.
@SwiftOnSecurity - Some here think that everything is NOT allowed and should be hidden and sealed behind blurred curtains... Which is pretty stupid as microblogging is terrible at any serious business. Porn, jokes, smalltalk, memes, everything Trump thinks - those are the stuff microblogging is made from.
