Fediverse hot takes:

  1. The only true client is the browser.

  2. Microblogging be damned.

  3. it’s the instances/servers that are federated, not the users (ie us) … and damn that too.

@fediverse

  1. since MySpace, social media has been primitive in the forms of expression afforded its users … essentially plaintext and an emoji or two. This has produced exceedingly low expectations in users about the richness of what content they are permitted to author online. Damn that.

@[email protected] @[email protected] That's bugged me too. Part of why I kept blogging, I think.

I'm looking forward to Mastodon at least preserving incoming formatting so that more people will start seeing it and realizing that (at least with some software) some formatting is possible again!
