it is far easier to have clusters that federate everything within them to cope with explosive user growth, and clients connecting to multiple networks

than it is to ad-hoc slap together things through trusted links of ad-hoc instances of mastodon

i've done enough backseat engineering for one day *slaps hands* but seriously, this is more of a social problem that requires buy-in from the top, not fixed by a pull request

i.e mastodon becomes a network, and like an irc network, different servers are run by different people, but under same charter, rules, and all interlinked

over the piecemeal ad-hoc method we have right now, where some operators work out if they trust each other to link

it just feels like it would be easier to copy the irc network model wholesale for something like mastodon

the federation in mastodon feels like an implicit irc-like network, but without the shared o-lines or policy or domains

are awoo users the awooletariat

decentralizaed social networks are back baby. its good again. awoo (mastodon instance)

i am failing my own little marshmallow test every day
