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. mastodon.social/media/aCy9j-y_

Extremely tempted to launch a paid instance so all these poorly-researched-thinkpiece people will have something new to be wrong about.

gross tech bro mastodon hot take 

@Ludonaut his claim is also just totally untrue, there's a very reasonable discussion happening right now about the particulars github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/

yes, securing identities and impersonation are problems, but being able to jump between servers freely is a feature. be a person, not a globdamn

"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
