Now, if only your #ISP provided you with a #Mastodon account in much the same way they provide you with an #email account. That would break the monopolies on social for good.
@StephenFirth idk, I’d prefer accounts to have been created by people planning to use them. Just sounds like a way to bloat numbers and give a ghost town feel to servers.
@harrisbueller Perhaps I am explaining it incorrectly because you are correct. My thoughts really revolve around the idea that ISPs provide users with Mastodon instances as part of the bundle they pay for which their users may or may not sign up to. But even that is not quite there. It is more around major players making these service instances available to take the load off a small set of volunteers and making it as ubiquitous as email. Signup could be as untied to the users' ISP as Gmail is.
