Mastodon is going to revolutionize social media. Mark my words.

By banning others because of freespeech.
Also redflag on mastodon: almost everyone has their prefered pronouns in their bio.
Just use minds.com it's just better.
Carter Harris
That has literally nothing to do with the software. Instances are free to (or not to) moderate discussion as they please. If you want an instance where nothing gets deleted, create one yourself.
Jace Cooper
It would be cool to build a imageboard on top of GNUnet.
Tyler Russell
GNUnet is pretty dead.
Kevin Morris
The big problem I see is the feature to completely block other instances being abused. If everyone is on mastodon.social and your instance is blocked by them it's useless.
Owen Gray
But only like 10% of all users are on mastodon.social
Blake Smith
Except you can make the instance which you moderate yourself. Or join the one which simultaneously isn't banned on most instances and supports free speech. Not everyone is sensitive fag, user.
It didn't revolutionise anything, friendica and GNU social existed long before it. But it gained a bigger and more active community, so that's a huge stepin the right direction. And UI is better as well.
Jason Clark
It was an example. You'd still lose a huge chunk of the network.
Nathaniel Parker
thete are no preferred pronouns or censorship. we even has lolis. i think most instances dont want to federate with us but we dont need them since pawoo likes being friends with us.
i think the fact that nobody on ours tags their naughty posts as sensitive is going to make federation a real bitch. isolationism is strong.
Jaxson Rivera

Dominic Sanders
Usually the violators aren't blocked - they are silenced. This means that you can federate with users directly, but you'll not show up in the federated feed.
Right now most leftist instances use toot.cafe's blocklist which is publically available on their github page, so you can use that as the reference.
Michael Ramirez
What a joke. The UI is just a ripoff of tweetdeck. Dumb fagots can't even be original and anyone who's relevant will be on Twitter. Mastadon will never be anything other than irrelevant losers.
Aiden Long
That doesn't make it any better.

Fuck off SJW tranny.
motherboard.vice.com
Landon Baker
Noone forces you to join the SJW instance.
Logan Anderson
I'm not the one reading Motherboard, m8.
Noah Gomez
Awesome, why did they use a picture of a wooly mammoth though?
Aiden Torres
Nah, Pleroma is. But until that's finished, postActiv works.
Mastodon is just a bad implementation of OStatus; GNUsocial and postActiv are fucky PHP but definitely respect the specification better. That and their developers are less retarded. Sure, Maiyannah is still a massive cunt, but you can always ignore her as well as the Patreon and just use the FOSS postActiv software. It's just a fork of GNUsocial, after all. Whereas Eugen has made entire design decisions based on his personal politics and seems to actually be trying to trademark the Mastodon brand like Red Hat.
Plenty of good instances like gs.smuglo.li and unsafe.space are out there. Hell, ED is hosting ediot.social now. Check out fediverse.org for a list of non-cucked instances.

Why?
Ethan Bell
Downvoting makes a website worse. It's why ycombinator is so much better than reddit.
Wyatt Brown
>Mark my words.
Sure buddy.
Elijah Sanders
Downvoting isn't the problem with Reddit. Downvotes making shit less visible is.
Luis Cruz
In the end it's all about the community, I think. I agree that a higher char limit could bring interesting things, but if the community is already geared towards SJWisms like said, then it doesn't really look much better than twitter.
Brody Sullivan
It doesnt have to affect the visibility of a post just like with minds.com
Just to show what a the general population thinks of some ideas
Henry Phillips

Asher Garcia
No one ever uses that and you know it. Most users of anything will use the default settings.
Benjamin Watson
Why do you care what other people are doing?
Grayson Gonzalez
That's the whole point of social networks. Why post something if no one is gonna see it?
Eli Martin
If you are trying to foster good discussion and most everyone is using the defaults, the forum will turn into nothing more than a circle jerk because most dissenting opinions are downvoted.
John Flores
They said the exact same thing as podricing.
And look at its grave and laugh.
Eli Hill
It's dead because Diaspora is shit.
This thing isn't.
Juan Campbell
They need to get better at naming things. 'Federation' and 'Instance' are not something normies would understand without explanation.
Jayden Flores
If you can't understand either of these concepts, you are mouth breather and I do not want you to share a community with me.
Landon Gonzalez
If it doesn't use middle-out, it's not revolutionary.
Camden Stewart
from what I understand if im in instance x I can only see toots from people from instance y if someone from my instance follows them. if it's really like this I have no way of reading toots from someone on instance z. why would I use this if it restricts what I can see? one of the things I like of twitter is that if feels global, mastodon seems its made for small group of people that want an echo chamber
