Incredibly stupid decision while trying to grow a network

Centralised garbage belongs in the bin

y, the unpredictable impact of instance admins will deter mainstream adoption

too bad

unbelievable :))

LOL wtf does that reason even mean

Yes, it's unfortunate that this is the best "mainstream" alternative for people trying to escape twitter. The UX is awful.

kol

lol

i offd

good

haha

wow. what did you even post?

really wish mastodon was better. But this ^ is how it goes. Instances are intentionally ideologically aligned which isn't bad itself, but they end up blocking/suspending anyone who doesn't belong.
And then account migration is a pain, it's possible but is essentially just pointing an old account to a new one, which might not work if you're suspended.

Lens is the way 🌱🌱

Yeesh.

😂 seriously?

the server owner has either an exceptional sense of humour or a very bad default message setup.

Hmmm 🤔

😳

The mastodon groups I saw were filled with all kinds of abusive stuff. Imo its not a serious competitor for the "public square" that is/was twitter.

Once the novelty of people moving off twitter to mastodon wears off, its gonna go back to the fringe element status it had

I had to collect this but good example the challenges with the server/federated model. I think what works better is actually shared state of data availability. I see challenges more in when hosts are shutting down servers if they don’t want to continue and a community is lost. Would like to hear @vitalik.lens thoughts

Lens won't

gm ser 🫡only here for the gifs and memes 🌿

LMFAOOOOO

That's wild! 😂😂😂

Mastodon is the worst of both world… censorship is delegated to random people ;)

Oh wow, the irony levels in this ban are through the roof.
At the same time, this is goes a long way on why we need decentralized, carefully incentivized, community-based content moderation.

This is called blackmail, btw. Shady move

Wtf
