@NeoYokel oh i'm with you! a lot of people have taken that service to task, expecting it to be something that it never claimed it was trying to be, angry it isn't more than what it is. My problem is what I want is a publicly-owned twitter w/ the same scope, scale, and ease of accessibility

@NeoYokel it's like so close to getting it right. maybe i got my opinion colored incorrectly by using it in the earlier more fragmentary days when different instances just existed to fling shit at one another lol

@NeoYokel i admire your dedication lol. it just... how to put it. few things bug me more than wasted potential. i'd rather something be a 0/10 than a 5/10, anr genuinely would prefer hell to purgatory. so when something ALMOST gets it right, it hurts more than if they'd fucked it all up

@NeoYokel hahahaha well that's one of the advantages mastodon has! by being an iterative framework instead of a so-called Platform, it lacks the ad-selling angle, which means no complete horseshit like the Algorithmic Timeline! but even 2011 twitter couldn't compete with 2022 twitter, imo

@NeoYokel on top of that, like, it's more of a systemic problem that "moving to mastodon" doesn't fix. it's communal, yeah, but it's still bogged down by individualist practices, and doesn't allow for full user or community autonomy. like u said in ur qrt, s/t like Extratone is a start!

@NeoYokel i appreciate it & think that as a framework mastodon is a neat thing, but in practice it has one too many core issues for me to fully abide by, if that makes sense? there are, as of my last inspection, a lot of key problems (esp w security) that make it just a Lesser Discord imo

Why does YouTube so badly want me to see the irl faces of the most popular vtubers, that I'm not even into? I've almost only been watching indie vtuber friends' streams

@FilmCritGRINCH @weadhitter Was that the year I met yall? I remember literally getting fired and coming in yalls room bc I think I was just a mutual and being like "wassup"

the longer we stay here, the more we use, the more profit we generate for the people above us. almost like a pyramid scheme. twitter without the bloodletting-esque profiteering off users would be my favorite place ever. i do truly love it here.
