Okay, my new Mastodon instance is live! Since @Mus made https://oulipo.social where you can't post the letter 'e', I am proud to announce:

i dont know why nobody interacts with our work or why we're working in complete obscurity being ignored this is a crime against humanity
why is 99% of academic writing incomprehensible gibberish hieroglyphs from another planet
catching up on some of the hot takes on mashable about mastodon, and from what i've gathered, mastodon has been around for a week, federation is a lot like a series of tubes, it's bad, and the only way to fix it is to monetize
whats the point of follow bots even, i dont get it (still block em tho)
Good morning. It is pleasurable to see new tooters complain about how difficult it is to aggregate and monetize analytic content on here. https://mastodon.social/media/aCy9j-y_cXi0Oy1fqoA
Extremely tempted to launch a paid instance so all these poorly-researched-thinkpiece people will have something new to be wrong about.

i'm preaching to the choir but instance level blocks are better than huge personal blocklists because mastodon should be free from harassment as a default, and i don't want to have to say to my friends "hey come to mastodon, there's no nazis once you've blocked all hundred of their accounts!"
imagine your ego was so small you had to constantly brag about 'being one of the first 140 people to join twitter'

it's kinda sad how you can tell if a person shows up here because they needed refuge from hellbird or if they just didn't wanna miss out on The Latest Coolest Social™️

yes, securing identities and impersonation are problems, but being able to jump between servers freely is a feature. be a person, not a globdamn #brand
"i can't squat my username globally and if i move to another instance i lose all followers, this sucks!" has to be one of the worst takes
