@anildash Have the nostr folks actually used Mastodon??

“users are subject to the despotism of a single person, which is often worse than that of a big company like Twitter, and they can't migrate out.”

No, users are able to choose a server with a support team and set of rules that they agree with, and can easily migrate out to a different server.

“Since servers tend to be run by amateurs, they are often abandoned. This effectively bans everybody that signed up via that server.”

Tend, often, and effectively are such lovely weasel words. Let’s rewrite that sentence without them.

Since [some] servers [are] run by [people not driven by profit motives], they are [rarely] abandoned. [And when they are,] this [does not prevent] everybody that signed up via that server [from easily moving to a new server].

There. Fixed it.
