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 Thanks a lot for taking the time of capturing and sharing this! History of community/collab projects often get lost, with a lot of valuable lessons and inspiration. As a new user who discovered Mastodon in the past 2 weeks, it is totally important for me before I chose to invest more time and community building energy in it what you captured here. Many thanks!
