#Mastodon had a 9 month head start to attract people to its way of social media while Twitter was collapsing.

9 months that could've been spent making sign ups friction less.

9 months that could've spent adding basic support for quote tooting.

9 months to make this place feel more inviting and accessible (doing something about the HOA).

Instead 9 months spent talking about a protocol that should just be an implementation detail.

#Mastodon should have been #threads. It needed product focus.

30M signs ups on #threads already.

Makes the #BlueSky rollout look comical.

#threads is just a good reminder that the most important thing in a good product is dead simple UX.

Hello #german friends. Gonna be back in your beautiful country in a few weeks - any suggestions on things to see/do while I'm there?

You know what, here's the pseudo code for #trunksapp quote support.

1. Parse html payload of a post from timeline/otherwise
2. Extract urls
3. Regex match URLs for common mastodon server patterns (you can improve this, I'm lazy)
4. Call the search endpoint with url resolution on, this will give you the remote post from any server localized to the current one.
5. Embed it using your rendering logic.

It's not hard - doesn't require protocol changes.

Is it weird to anyone else that all of the big "town square" spaces on the internet have been bought out at the same time that numerous precedents on bodily autonomy, personal liberty, and privacy are being rolled back?

It's almost like they don't want to people to organize and be able to do something about it. 🤔

Is it normal to tell all of your friends and relatives nervous about #GenerativeAI that there's nothing but smoke there?

All while you're trying to figure out what other potential careers would work out for you in the future?

#Mastodon has less than 1.5M DAU, with a very spread out, global user base.

That's not a lot of intermediate nodes in the social graph for where people can find meaningful community.

The antagonistic discovery features make that worse.

🧔🏼‍♂️ I can't believe that Apple would advertise their Show "Silo" on Twitter! Twitter is evil! They should not use that platform at all! They should advertise elsewhere!

Yep, Walmart won because it undercut everyone and forced them into selling.
