Hi! mastodon.social is being slow right now, as far as I can tell because there's twice as many people using it at the same time as ever have; I'm working on making it go fast again, but in the meantime, do remember to invite people to joinmastodon.org instead of directly to mastodon.social. People don't have to be on the same server to follow you! Thanks!

@Gargron People don't understand the word "decentralized" - coming from Twitter indeed very hard to understand.
Show threadHuggenknubbel Apr 25, 2022
@Hiker tatsächlich ist das für viele auch ziemlich schwer zu verstehen. Wobei es viele gründe gibt sich bei der Hauptinstanz ansumelden. angefangen bei der Ausfallsicherheit bzw fähigkeit des Admins bei Problemen bis hin zur URL die man sich merken muss ^^ @Gargron

@Hughenknubbel Was bitte heisst "Hauptinstanz" ? @Gargron
Show threadHuggenknubbel Apr 25, 2022
@Hiker Es ist die Instanz mit den meisten Usern, die Instanz die vom Entwickler selbst betrieben wird. @Gargron
Show threadHikerApr 25, 2022
@Hughenknubbel Sehe ich nicht so. Im dezentralen Netzwerk gibts keine Hauptinstanz. @Gargron
Show threadHuggenknubbel Apr 25, 2022
@Hiker Natürlich gibt es technisch gesehen keine Hauptinstanz. Will ich jedoch eine gute uptime haben, nicht ständig umziehen müssen und generell eine gewisse "sicherheit" das die Instanz nicht in den nächsten Monaten dicht macht. wähle ich die, die am Meisten Sicherheit ausstrahlt. Das ist diese oder unter umständen andere große instanzen.
Show threadHikerApr 25, 2022
@Hughenknubbel Es ist ja nur ein "ausstrahlen" - Garantie für Zuverlässigkeit hast du keine. Also finde ich "Hauptinstanz" nach wie vor unpassend.
Show threadHuggenknubbel Apr 25, 2022
@Hiker Natürlich ist es nur ein Gefühl. 100%-ige Garantien gibt es so oder so bei gar nichts. Aber ich denke, du hast die intentionen verstanden, weshalb man sich da anmeldet :)
Show threadHikerApr 25, 2022
@Hughenknubbel Die Leute melden sich da nicht wegen diesem Gefühl an, die haben von Dezentralität und was das bedeutet, leider keine Ahnung.
Show threadJim HolmesApr 25, 2022
@Hiker @Gargron Is there a summary you would recommend? In particular I'm wondering how having multiple different machine names in URLs works when it comes to authenticating a server as a real Mastodon server before I give it my password.

@Gargron Thanks for the update! Yes I thought the service was down completely before the site finally loaded.

@Gargron yeah a lot of us testing the waters here again :)

I think this is bc Twitter users are sharing their Fediverse account urls they registered previously which are overwhelmingly mastodon.social.
joinmastodon.org / Mastodon needs a feature to help a user share a link on Twitter which will direct their followers to find a fediverse server then follow their Fediverse account automatically.
