Yes, I never got past that stage. It seems most instances are either nazis, crybullies or flake. I guess first step of joining mastodon is buying a domain name to run a server instance on and then join mastodon as a single user instance. But then I assume most servers also ban single user instance and I just could not be bothered to join was is probably “worse twitter” when I never participated in the twitter mental illness in the first place.

Yes, it’ll be part of the subscription package. Similar to your phone.

That’s regular critical mass problem. The real question is why the Xitter exodee didn’t make it to mastodon in the first place?

When I investigated, I didn’t get past the account creation stage. Because each server is its own fiefdom and your account will largely be prisoner there, the more you get tangled on it, the more you become subject to its rules. I found that unacceptable.

If there are these roadblack to you as a profficient computer toucher then I think it’s safe to say this is system is already doomed to cultural irrelevance, at best just another one of our private clubhouse nerdtoys, sad !

Hopefully this defeat in the face of bluesky shocks the dev out of their uncompromising complacency and start fighting FOR the users

Seems the solution is just turning off replies

Why don’t people want to use mastodon?

Are they following rasputin again?

Does Mastodon refuse to deal with its issues, like Lemmy?

They might as well try and invade the moon.

So, xmpp, matrix or signal? Or other?

They already put a 100% tarrif on the most affordable EV (byd seagull)

We’ll go back to gopher if we have to, it’s time for burning chrome.

ARTISTS, JOURNALISTS, POLITICIANS, LEAVE TWITTER NOW, YOU IDIOTS

So, it’s going to take government to take back ring level -1 ?

Most (all?) of these have been discontinued for a decade unfortunately

Doesn’t that only work on three IBM laptops from 2014 ?

We already have to have key rings. Centralized DNS is just a second, superfluous layer of authority (and a massive grift) on top

The certificate authorities on my ring that I trust. For normal people that’s already included in their OS or browser

All of them, find one that responds an answer valid for my local saved key.

The DNS server is no longer an authority on its own, just your keyring matters.
