@dansup @PhilipKing I believe Pixelfed can take down Insta, I don't believe Mastodon can take down twitter...

*get their asses*

@dansup My brother in christ. You're amazing, but the 50 other projects you made weep for your attention.

that said, heck yeah... build the ecosystem

Reddit is experiencing the VC dilemma.... Your startup is allowed to have core features and limited growth, and the end user experience is generally better that way in the long term...

VCs require infinite growth and that's unsustainable, so once the users run out.. they look to find cash any way they can like the privatisation of the APIs.

Patreon had the same problem. It had one job, then it suddenly started posting about microloans.

VC money, not even once.

@evan Mastodon needs to build a protocol level toot permissions.

Tagging toots with "allow:fulltextsearch" or "disallow:fultextsearch" and then search engines can process those permissions and maintain the tooters wishes on a toot by toot basis.

https://fedi.buzz/ by @astro is a bunch of trending topics across the mastodon fediverse.

I just remembered, Search in Mastodon is "your tweets and the tweets you interacted with"... If you go searching for "topic x", you'll find nothing and might think it's never been mentioned!

This keeps surprising me.
