Mastodon's big issue is that it isn't fully decentralized. I don't want to give Twitter all of my trust, but I also don't want to put all my trust into some random server just because it isn't Twitter.
For fully decentralized social networking (online or off-grid) I recommend: https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/

- e1ven 9y agoCan you help me understand what you mean by "isn't fully decentralized"? If you're running your own server, my understanding it's trusted by default by most servers - There is a blacklist of untrusted federation servers, rather than a whitelist? In what way would you prefer it to be setup? More of a p2p model, rather than a federated model?
- xena 9y agoI think by "fully decentralized" he means "everyone has to run their own node"
- justinjlynn 9y agoFederation is a perfectly valid type of decentralised system. Their complaint is likely that it isn't a fully peer to peer system.
- wruza 9y agoWhat sort of trust it is, can you expand?
