That's totally fair. You're also SoL if you don't agree with their policies, etc. So I'm definitely not a fan of the way that works.
>Mastodon has a problem with scaling individual instances
That's unfortunate to hear. Seems like a "core" issue though... I mean, if it approaches anywhere near the number of DAU twitter has... no idea how that would work, logistically.
Seems it would have to come full-circle where hosters have incentive beyond "hobby" and "clout" reasons.
- rolenthedeep 4y agoThere are a lot of things to complain about in the core of mastodon as a piece of software. That's a big part of why there are so many alternatives built on the same protocol. The idea is that by spreading the users amongst many smaller servers, everyone has a pretty responsive experience while still being able to (hypothetically) interact with as many users as on Twitter.
