 If a message gets treated as a message—specifically across disparate servers, clients, and apps—that means decentralization of social media is a success. If Post isn’t letting a message be a message on their platform, promises of Mastodon compatibility should be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, they are at odds with decentralization. I refuse to use their service. 2 comments
@atomicpoet The charlatans at Post don't care at all about protocols as long as their Trust Metric can filter and control audience behaviors to support their business model, which is to employ a micropayments scheme to break publishers' subscription dollars into pennies so Post can skim off the top. Their dream is a thousand Seth Abramsons under their banner. Unsustainanable and dishonest. Notably, a year into their bus dev push, only half a dozen publishers have signed on. |

@atomicpoet I opened my Mastodon account at the end of October and opened a Post account shortly thereafter. I quit Twitter soon after that. I haven't looked at or posted anything on Post since at least December and tried to close my account, but apparently they aren't letting people close accounts, yet. I couldn't find any way to close my account. 😑
