@rysiek honestly, from what I understand about the 2017 version of Mastodon, this is a pretty solid take.

Mastodon has matured a LOT since then. The federation clearly tripped him up quite a bit, but I took a lot of the article as constructive criticism at worst.

Either way, it's come very far. I still hate "toots", though. That's one of the single worst things about this platform. Can we just come up with a different name???

@BiggestBulb I thought toots was just a joke name, do people really call them toots and not posts?

@atocci @rysiek yeah, "toots" is the official name unfortunately 😅 it just sounds like Mastodon farts to me

@rysiek @Alice What a bizarre article. The author seems to have no idea how Mastodon works.

@Kayla @rysiek @Alice What I learned from this article:

• Instances exist for load balancing and no other reason
• If I use my full name on social media then nobody can impersonate me
• It is important that William Shatner can find me at all times

@SirLich @Kayla @rysiek I came to Mastodon to hide from William Shatner.
