ITS CALLED ANIME GRANDMA
I'm seeing many smart people expressing serious concerns over Mastadon's ability to function in the face of extensive abuse as the communities scale up, and I think I share them.
Basically, MAstadon is reliant on benevolent policy choices. It gives you great tools, but the open question is, what happens when you have rogue instances on the warpath doing stuff that requires law enforcement intervention?
What do you do about admins of instances faking logs? Can you just ban them all? Unfed all?
"Hello hit me up on @funwithbill@masto.social, Definitely not a BDSM meeting site!:slight_smile: "

This is what you wanted? This is what you want??!?

this pose is giving me a hard time.
I'm the admin of community.highlandarrow.com, @moonman is the admin of shitposter.club we can and will action stuff that breaks laws and stuff. But you have to give us the chance to.

Is anyone willing to actually discuss pseudo rules propping up as if they're community standards? Where is this widespread CW community standard coming from?
Why are people acting as if there isn't already instance rules? I'd understand in full if certain content was required to be tagged as per instance rules but why are all these federated messages coming through seemingly without any understanding that each instance has rules demanding everyone listen to their needs?
Is there a car scene on Mastodon yet?
FYI, your email provider can read all your emails. This is not a mastodon specific problem.
I think so many in the tech press have become jaded from a ecade of over-funded and under-planned VC-fueled startups that they just write these rote "will it die," "will it kill [big thing]" pieces and forgot what got them interested in tech in the first place.
It's sad. There's so much cool stuff going on right now, and the tech press doesn't know how to talk about it anymore.
Is external account verification possible to end the medias obsession with official accounts?
Some sort of service that verifies accounts?
It's also ironic how being unable to delete accounts across instances is being treated like a big deal when anything worth taking note of on the internet will get backed up anyways once it goes public. Screenshots, caches, etc. Public accounts aren't supposed to be closed circles.
If I'm followed by someone on another instance, why wouldn't my profile when viewed from that instance show the toots that I've made?
As someone on one of the larger instances without a very specific/niche culture or personality, I wonder if the experience is just totally different for folks in other instances. And yet I don't really want to go make a bunch of accounts in different instances and juggle them either.
