@helene Like, my entire point is that the rapid-fire nature of microblogging is where the problem comes in.

Even if the technical admin overhead of a fediverse instance were zero, there's still the massive social issues that make it a constant headache, and the design fundamentally takes away control from people in terms of what they see and who they interact with.

@helene They are quite different, and my greater point is that the interaction model of timeline-based "microblogging" social networks is also deleterious to peoples' mental health.

I totally understand @chr's decision to shutter cybre.space. Maintaining and moderating a large Mastodon instance is an extremely thankless task; at best, if you're doing a good job, nobody knows about it, and at worst, if something goes wrong, everything's a disaster and a fire drill and everyone's upset at you.

This is why I once again implore people to consider running their own blogs and using feed readers to follow each other.
