This seem to mostly apply to yarnSocial as well: How Mastodon is different (than twitter)
@darch@neotxt.dk It’s a good visualisation and great explanation 👌
The problem is Mastodon is really a “distributed” network, not really “decentralised” per se, it is and is isn’t in the strictest sense. Instances get far too large, and you can see what happens when they grow even larger, they strain and struggle to keep up with the load and traffic on them.
Blocking bad instances is necessary, but it wouldn’t be as necessary if instances were much smaller IMO.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah I agree. We really have to have the “right” controls in place, and so far I think we do 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve been thinking, and discussing in class as well, how much an information tool can improve the lifestyle of a population? Basically, what problems are we solving with technology?
It’s about transmitting bytes in form of words, images and basically multimedia. I had the same thought for my hobby and profession of creating games. How much a game improves someone’s life?
But anyway, we, as a society, need the entertainment the social media and technology in general, offers.
