So #MarkZuckerberg and #ElonMusk are aiming to have an MMA fight. We need to get @Gargron in on the action too. I offer to arrange his training!

@aurynn Why defederate? What’s it to you if their users get ads? Maybe they are good enough or the service is good enough to warrant being on there. We need sustainable business models and diverse approaches. Opposing diversity through extreme measures such as defederation is quite a negative culture and enforces the social bubble.

@aurynn perhaps not the most mature response to discussion

@aurynn no part of it. Just disappointed you stoop to that level

@pettter fundamentally I would say: ease of use for everyone. Good usability, fun, and ease benefits all.

#Mastodon has a vision, but it's good to make that vision as accessible to as many as possible. Social networks are for connecting people, and everyone on this planet wants to connect somehow.

I see a lot of arguments that are seemingly against #Mastodon growth: 'We don't need to be bigger than #Bluesky or #Twitter, we don't need to change anything'. But why would we intentionally want a platform that is difficult for users and obtuse? Many opensource projects seem to fall into that trap of thinking ease of use is somehow a bad thing, not worthy of attention.

Surely the web is an example of why open standards, with good experience and business (the horror!) is beneficial?

#UX

@thomasfuchs @Gargron we also desperately need to see all replies of a post when clicking on it. Not just whatever the server knows about and thus silently missing often the majority of a discussion.

@Mrfunkedude somewhat seriously, this is a fine example of the limitations of Mastodon: I see only a couple replies from people when viewing your toot. It’s only when I open your toot up on your server that I see there are dozens and dozens. This is a big problem.
