@munin I haven't seen how large websites operate under the hood, but I was under the impression that only a media CDN was in place for load distribution? Accounting for images etc.

@myles Or how about you treat mastodon as it was designed, you know, a distributed platform where you can self segregate into awoo.space if you're scared real life news will penetrate your micro-tumblr.

@myles Yah just talk about your daily everyone totes cares about. No news though, who cares about things of substance.:grinning:

@spiderrobotpig Dude what? What current events or politics triggers people?

Is there a car scene on Mastodon yet?

FYI, your email provider can read all your emails. This is not a mastodon specific problem.

@Cocoron Brand accounts should just use their own instance. Things wouldn't get messy that way.

I don't know why anyone would want to interact with Walmart to begin with other than to complain.

@Nafrondel No way, apparently that's not certain enough. @Nafrondel@mylittlepony.club Could be you, It's way too confusing! /S

You're right, people are getting caught up on there vetted accounts remaining that way though.

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.

@Challman That'd be the home timelime..?

@neon spoilers, ruined, can't finish now

@linguangst privacy/security concerns would be useful to touch on. As well as the username situation and resemblance to email.

@idf
The federated timeline is a gift, I really hope it stays. I don't know how it's not full of spam at this point even.
