Mastodon is federated and thus more resistant to user-hostile takeovers, unlike other alternatives like post.news that are basically clones of Twitter that aren't owned by Musk yet. That's why I moved to a local Mastodon instance. nostr is tied to toxic Web3 bullshit so I didn't even consider it.
- cykros 4y agoThe technology behind mastodon is all well and good. In practice, the instances have a lot of sysop drama that results in a very poorly federated network. Having a model like Usenet, where perhaps you could have some groups federated among a few instances, others that are global, and still others that are purely local, would likely improve upon the situation as it currently is. Basically, everything social on the Internet is trying to find its way back to Usenet, which was the high point of electronic socialization.
