@evan This will sound snarky, but please believe it’s not: I think that’s great for people with the wherewithal and knowledge and connections into admin peer support and who also don’t mind their replies not showing up in lots of people’s view. I think it is a laudable accomplishment!
But it’s also a niche activity compared to the mass of people who just want to use Mastodon (or something else) to hang out with their friends. And rn Masto tells those people accounts are portable 🫠
@kissane I will say this with the utmost respect: you are the fediverse critic whose voice I trust the most. I know you really want it to succeed, and you point out problems that we all want to overlook.
Data portability is a big deal, and I'd like to see it get better.
I also think the ghost replies issue is a big deal that we need to fix. There are tools in AP that Mastodon doesn't use. I'd like to figure out why and get them working.
