It's remarkable the degree to which the Popular Mechanics piece on #Mastodon misses the point.
Brand confusion/name squatting can be serious problems--IF you're using the platform as a serious marketing tool.
Most of us are here precisely because we were sick of being on a platform that was a serious marketing tool. So maybe the lack of professional tools to promote and protect your brand are mostly a feature (and I say that as an IP lawyer who kinda takes brands seriously).
@krypteia A thousand times this.
Every time I hear "OTP" in security contexts, I hear "One True Pairing" in my head.
"Oh, RSA-senpai!"
@MochiWaifu @bunnylyn Seconding!
@hauntedlatte We're all figuring that out. :D

They all keep asking what an awoo is, but it's hard to explain other than by example. Ahem.
Awoo~

@paralithode So true. Free speech is an optimization problem, not an absolute.

Allowing oppressive language 'you disagree with' isn't encouraging free speech, it's encouraging the use of tools specifically designed & used to silence the speech of marginalised people.
@edef Agreed that it's not a perfect metaphor.
@hupfen Oooooooooooooh.
@oceangrunge@mastodon.social "Mastodon's monster" is @Gargron's credit card bill after covering the hosting costs of the French "invasion."
Apologies if you followed me and haven't seen an expected follow-back yet! I've been followed by a lot of folks over what was already a busy weekend!
@MnemonicLight Same.
Come to New York. We have more queer furries than I know what to do with.
@tinysubversions Thank you!! This was the single biggest hurdle for my Raspberry Pi/Mastodon client project, too.
@hupfen Nice, fellow writer! Looking forward to checking it out. I still need to get my own novel, Planet Oz, up on Amazon et al.
I'm perfectly content to see federation whitelisting, blacklisting, and graylisting in the Mastodon ecosystem.
It's clear from the history of email that all three approaches are necessary:
* Blacklists for e.g. the known spammers.
* Whitelists for e.g. corporate email that needs to stay in-house.
* Graylists for e.g. Google Mail, which has to deal with everyone.
The tools for a wide spectrum of federation approaches are being built even now.
