Okay here's a real toot that you can actually boost without people looking at you like you're crazy.

The past few weeks (okay, ever since the schism) I've felt kind of disenchanted by Mastodon and especially its development environment, and I wrote an essay about why that is. It's long, but if you're interested in Mastodon's history or politics you should give it a read.
@u2764 This shit makes me so frustrated. There's so much potential in Mastodon-the-software to support diverse communities and let lots of different groups set up a communication platform that they get to control and use how they want... But the project is not thinking about the needs of its users in advance, as you said, and now it's becoming even less receptive. I want it to be good, I still think it can be good, but the atmosphere is suffocating...
