It's really cool to see things like this from the libre point of view. However, the decentralized bit was confusing to me when I tried out Mastodon. It was like I was trying to figure out whether I should join the North American Combine or the Paneuropean Federation _with the catch_ that geography was not really a factor. So did the decentralization make things easier for everybody or harder? I know I never really got into Mastodon after trying it twice, though I'm open to trying it again. I'd honestly rather just swim with the whatever the tide is in such cases unless I'm applying for a literal passport. Point me to a popular way of accessing the thing and using it, and I'll give it a shot. Any given community with a good amount of traffic ought to self-sort to allow me to find what I like.
