i love centralized social networks...
about mastodon. i love centralized social networks because you can search for any post, regardless of the date of its creation, any person, any community. in mastodon, however, this does not work.
when you register on a small instance, people’s profiles are empty, there are no posts, hashtags do not work.
if you register on a medium-sized instance, it’s already better, but there are still people who are not subscribed to from someone from your instance and their profiles are empty, and even if someone is subscribed, only posts which are shown are ones that were created after the subscription of person from your instance, older are not, and the person may have been maintaining this account for a lot longer, post history preservation is broken. hashtags are already available, but still not all of them, because not all posts are available too (hashtags work like a filter for post).
if you register on a large instance, small ones will defederate from you and you will see neither their hashtags, nor interesting people, nor their posts.
there is a feeling of distortion of reality, which is a nasty feeling in itself.
