Is it just me or is mastodon and its instances more like irc than twitter?
each instance kind of feels like different irc channels and the open access of instance and federal timelines feels more like an irc feed instead of a the closed boxes of who you follow like twitter.
@phessler like mastodon.social feels alot more like the antechamber or main hallway leading to all these little rooms each with their own theme, flavor and party inside. So i have one account in the antechamber and one in a room i like and considering visiting more rooms in future.
What ild love is like a wiki that lists the instances and has data like the instance description, what type of people are there, how many people in it and how it federates.
@phessler yeah joining an instance does feel like an investment/cost compared to just joining irc channels. Perhaps when they fix the follow export import tools it will be easier.
