Conversation

from my so-called friends still on the hellsite: "Why are you on Mastodon, it's just a bunch of furries and LBTQs" and I replied "and why, exactly, is that a 'problem'?" followed immediately by "And that's exactly why it works so well." (for, at least, a significantly higher value of "well". Distributed systems are difficult. Centralization is the easy but lazy route, and we can all see where that goes, far too often.)
