Scott ShapiroFascinating to see how Mastodon is turning into Geek Twitter, http://post.news into Blue Check Twitter, and Twitter into Truth Social.
Robert Thau@scottjshapiro Well, at the moment, post.news is a version of bluecheck twitter where the un-checked don't even get to watch. (I'm 80k back in a queue that doesn't seem to be moving at all, and from reports, they seem unlikely to be ready for that many users for a while. Which does make me wonder why they're promoting it so heavily...)
Long Truong@rst @scottjshapiro also strange because from the last update the owner gave, it seems like they're missing extremely basic functionality. Like Mastodon isn't the most polished but still
@lxtruong @scottjshapiro Descriptions I've seen of the current UI are that all they have is a single timeline on which everyone's posts appear (like an unfederated Mastodon instance with a local timeline and nothing else, or the antediluvian Twitter "globa" timeline).
I don't think that scales to even a thousand genuinely active users, let alone the nearly hundred thousand already on their wait list.
