Gregory's Server@kissane Mastodon feels like Open Source communities from the early 2000's, with semi-religious dogmatic positions towards "you are either free or a sheep" attitude, and its not easy to use.

@kissane however, i can work with this philosophy; i use algorithims in all other social networks, and I want to see how it works over here. @penalbatoday @kissane I think it will get there in the end, it’s just more of a bazaar evolution than a cathedral creation. @LukeBrowell @penalbatoday @kissane There's a fair number of users that want it to be a cathedral. "How dare you use my super-private public post on a federated network with software other than the Sacred Version of Mastodon (3.2.8 with the BozoMonkey patch) without asking me personally first? That's a violation of my personal (and this completely correct) interpretation of the GDPR!" @LukeBrowell @penalbatoday @kissane "You also should have read the minds of the dozens of marginalized imaginary people I keep in my pocket and unquestioningly obeyed their every opinion before you even started this project. It's not their job to teach you. You should just know. Sure, they may not resemble any real people other than myself, but that doesn't matter because I'm the moral authority here." |
@kissane it isnt rocket science but things dont just work at first time. I had to copy your user into another tab so i could follow you and then reply; and algorithms can be useful for discovery, which currently we don't have.
