I think a major source of bad Mastodon takes is that people are used to a totalizing, Facebookian idea of why social networks have value; Facebook (purportedly) has value because every single person you know is on it. But from a lot of perspectives, this is a misfeature. People fail to grasp how Mastodon can have value when it's about participative communities and not about mapping your entire social life onto a digital space.
@brunodias It feels a bit like what Imzy was/is trying to do, the way it allows you to pick a per-community persona. You don't have to be the same person everywhere on the site, but you do have to be consistent about who you are in this one place. I can see people using instances in kind of the same way.
