   @bryanruby @JustinH @jwildeboer @jautero the only people we hate more than the judean people's front is...

   why is decentralisation and federation a Good Thing? what happens when my server goes down... for good?

   this place is complex. servers? what the hell are they? why do i need to choose one? which one should i choose? is this a safe one to choose? what are they doing? recording? selling?

   bluesky *is* twitter. the good old days. when it was safe, moderated, ad free.

   nobody ever makes the case for federation. it is always why a non federated model is wrong. the post below... who the hell cares? that's such a technical complaint. that's supposed to make me think "ooh... mastodon" as a non techie?

   what, in terms of simply being able to interact with people, is the actual advantage of mastodon? i am a techie in my day job. on social media i simply want to post stuff, read stuff, and interact with stuff.

   federation? what is that and why do i care? make the case for decentralisation.
