Ian WilliamsonThis by @marcoarment nicely conveys why I'm feeling good about using Mastodon, had no desire to sign up for Hive, Post or any of the other Twitter clones now popping up, and why Twitter also feels icky in comparison.
Michael Stanclift@tuckerjj @marcoarment its hilarious to me watching the weekly evolution that the ATP crew has had about Mastodon. It seems like Marco finally “got it” this week.
Warner Crocker@WarnerCrocker @tuckerjj @marcoarment at least now I can stop screaming back at Overcast “OH COME ON!” over and over every Thursday afternoon.

@yertle @vmstan @tuckerjj @marcoarment really glad they hopped on the train, especially since they where very skeptical of Mastidon really amounting to anything.

Jason Bruce@vmstan @alexbourque @marcoarment @tuckerjj They convinced me as well, though this was my second attempt. A couple weeks ago I couldn’t get past the “which server” conundrum, but then figured out it doesn’t really matter.
@marcoarment @vmstan @alexbourque @tuckerjj to be fair, I don’t know enough about it yet to know what I think about how much it matters!
Zach Weigand@alexbourque @vmstan @tuckerjj @marcoarment It’s true that there are tons of things here that need fixing or more polish. That’s the first thing people (including me) can focus on while kicking the tires. But once you realize that despite all the imperfections you can still have a good time participating here it sort of melts the negativity away. It also excites me to see something new grow again. Something not built around the advertising model especially!
@zwei @alexbourque @tuckerjj @marcoarment most of the flaws and imperfections that might be seen in first glance are actually design decisions or necessary architectural differences vs a centralized solution.
Kay@vmstan @tuckerjj @marcoarment to be fair, the barrier to “getting it” is probably much lower when you’re on the Ivory beta 😁
Peter@vmstan @tuckerjj @marcoarment listening to the episode this morning. All I could think was “That escalated quickly”
(((Jann Gobble)))🏳️🌈@vmstan @tuckerjj @marcoarment Marco "had it" earlier, I think. He just didn't like how it was presented to him - app-wise (if i was hearing him right in the podcasts).
That has been many people's problems.
ps: Ivory could also fix people's main issue with #Mastodon - the onboarding and choosing of a server process - if it wanted to.
Rick Williams@vmstan @tuckerjj @marcoarment Except he keeps rubbing that Ivory beta in our face. My current favorite app is Mammoth, even though it is not feature complete. Can’t wait for Ivory though.
@RickWilliams @tuckerjj @marcoarment Mammoth has a lot of promise. Mastoot is probably my favorite but it’s missing some features too.

UX/UI is everything, isn't it?
@usurper @tuckerjj @marcoarment it was more about the comments that anyone evaluating new social media options should look at it being open vs some VC funded mess.
Mastodon only has room to get better, but everyone else looks at it from it from how it can monetized. That’s the fundamental difference.
