   Wonderful post by @kissane that puts to words by thoughts and vibes around everything related to Mastodon’s culture and BlueSky's early days.

     @davidbures Not sure which browser you use but Graze for mastodon chrome plugin has been a huge success for me https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/graze-for-mastodon/epocinhmkcnjfjobnglchpbncndobblj

     @robertvh @kissane I find it funny how Erin mentioned that you sometimes sometimes need to do three things to follow someone. When I first started using Mastodon last year, I tried to follow someone on a different instance. Because I got to their profile through a direct link, I couldn't just press "follow" (God forbid that open source projects are user-friendly)

     I've been using computers since I was 5 and I never figured it out. I still can't do it. It's such a stupid oversight.

     @robertvh @kissane Great article, I agree with everything @kissane mentioned

     I've seen the same attitude the holier-than-thou Mastodon advocates have in the Linux community. Like, seriously, my 45-year-old mom doesn't give a shit about "decentralization" and "open-source virtues", she just wants to sign up and get talking, and it's this market Mastodon must target

     If this doesn't change, Mastodon will just stay niche, the same way Linux is. inb4 "This is the year of Mastodon on the desktop!"
