I think the reason is more practical. Mastodon is distributed, user-controlled, and easily managed. You can just choose to simply not interact with privacy-adverse systems rather than being forced to use a single centralized system.
- sangnoir 3y ago> I think the reason is more practical. Mastodon is distributed, user-controlled, and easily managed. I don't think that's the reason because most of the infosec people I follow moved to a single instance (infosec.exchange)
- themoonisachees 3y agoBut it is. Users chose infosec.exchange because it promised what there were after, but if the instance admins start misbehaving, it would be significantly easier to migrate again to another, or their own, Mastodon instance. The difficulty of search in federated spaces means users are more likely to centralize themselves, but the movement federation offers ensures no funny business on an admins part.
