I have a feeling mastadon is going to turn into Wikipedia. An arguably important piece of digital infrastructure that everyone uses but no-one wants to pay for.
I don't use Mastodon, but everything I read about it sounds so awkward compared to Twitter's simplicity. Currently anyone can get chucked off a server for whatever reason a/the moderator feels like. There was a post on r/all today that I can't find now about a black person getting their posts deleted (or maybe banned?) from a server when the mod figured out they were black. When you're at the whims of some random person and could lose your account or posts for any reason (or the server shuts down?), then where's the posterity and ease of access that Wikipedia and Twitter have?

This just sounds convoluted, but maybe that's me:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/100xjg5/moderator_abuse/

quote:

If you have an account on mastodonNice.com and the moderator in question is a moderator for mastodonBad.com, you should be opening up your browser to mastodonNice.com and logging in to your account there, not by visiting mastodonBad.com. Once you log into your account on mastodonNice.com and try to search or view content from mastodonBad.com, you may be blocked from viewing that, yes but that should not affect your ability to log into your account (which is always at mastodonNice.com) and should not affect your ability to view and follow accounts on a completely different server like mastodonFun.com

On the surface, this seems fine, but who knows when the server owner will go off the deep-end or pull the plug on it for whatever reason.

quote:

I've thrown a couple of people off for Spamming and Porn. It's in the rules. I have zero tolerance for that poo poo. Until the instance is funded by the people using it and they decide new rules, I enforce and make the rules.
When it goes wrong, it seems like giving an IK the ability to perma-ban posting enemies.

Even though there's currently nothing really competing with Twitter, I have a hunch that an established FAANG entity will expand on something they already do to try to catch as many users as possible once Twitter truly goes down for good.

Edit:
Mastodon posts are called "toots"???? lol

I read more about servers getting deleted. You have to back up your own posts or else they'll probably disappear. Neat.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/zzojwu/what_happened_if_the_mastodon_server_that_i/

quote:

Exactly. People keeping thinking Mastodon is social media. It isn't. It is social networking.

Think of it is a shared space to meet up, find out what is going on, have some conversations, then move on.

It is not supposed to be an archive of all your thoughts, images, videos, or stream of consciousness. That is exactly what destroyed Twitter and Instagram. Lots of us burned by that and so Mastodon is designed specifically to make that corruption difficult. If you don't like it, setup your own instance with your own code (or go find another platform).
Posters who don't like a record of their posts seem angry.

quote:

I've been on a server that shut down without notice. Everything disappeared. Too bad. I suppose I could have made backups, though what I actually miss is the friends I had on that server.

I can't think of a fable that fully captures him. He probably is a fairly bright person in some ways but not even close to a genius. The problem is he's been told he's a genius all his life and even though that wasn't true he's become disgustingly rich and famous. The richest man in history.* So to him it's been proven beyond a doubt that he's a genius. Now he's going through life with billions of dollars and an unshakable belief in his own genius.

Like Lil Ben, Musky was probably a Gifted Kid in school, and again, like Ben, really bought into it. Not helped by the fact he was placed basically at the top rung of the latter from birth so he probably honestly believes that yes, he's smarter than everyone else because he was good at reading and knew a few facts about history or science that weren't commonly known so others thought he was a super genius, but he just remembered an episode of Cosmos or in book about Dinosaurs.

Most of us realized were just really good at trivia and not actual geniuses, but people in positions of privilege tend to never shake it.
