Experimental Cyborg

It’s pretty common… Some people with low self esteem flirt for attention. It’s fucked, but it’s sad for both parties, really.

Same dude. The only way to get over it is to get out there and try again, unfortunately.

Mastodon is gatekept to hell and back, the technicalities of federation are exposed to the user for some reason (you already lose half your potential user base right there), infighting between instances means that you won’t see the entire discourse of a post depending on which instance you’re at…

And besides all that, bsky is not as “corpo” as mastodon fanboys make it out to be. They’re on track to open up to privately hosted instances as well, and you can already run most of their backend stuff yourself.
