@kissane the placefulness of Mastodon and the extended microblogverse is its greatest flaw IMHO.
Instead of using AP servers as post-office relays for our digital letters, we’ve effectively been moved to live inside the post offices just to make it easier for the servers to send letters on our behalf.
The discussion groups of the threadiverse however do make sense as places we can visit with our independent identities.
I need separation between my place of living and place of discourse.
