> Mastadon is... tofu dogs. Mastadon is an attempt to feed healthy, protocol-based internet food to people who have been subsisting on bad, algorithmically-manipulated corporate internet food (the aforementioned user-hostile platforms) in a way that feels familiar to them while they get used to the idea of not consuming the internet equivalent of Twinkies and Pork Rinds and Liquor for the rest of their lives.
Mastadon is hand-rolling cigarettes instead of buying them at the gas station. Brewing gin in your bathtub, instead of going to a liquor store.
- jtode 4y agoChange the likely-to-permanently-blind-you bathtub gin to delicious homebrew ale, and I'm with you. Cause in the end, the endless-scroll mode of internet use should really just be looked at the same way we look at Crack: sure, some people can handle it, but ultimately, why does anyone do this anyways?
