I meant to be finishing a post about books I'm reading but I got distracted and wrote ~2500 words about Mastodon and Bluesky and the related things (welcoming design, insular culture) I've been stewing on for a few months

And also about vegetarian meat substitutes in the 1980s, which were *really something*

@kissane such a good piece and I think quite even handed. Thank you for writing it.

@kissane I hope you’re disappointed by that completely reasonable expectation.

@kissane glancing at my mentions proves you correct.

Sigh.

@fraying My favorite evasive maneuver here is when people class all discussion of Mastodon specifically as "erasing" other ActivityPub projects

@kissane
Me: a criticism of mastodon
Them: the fediverse is bigger than mastodon!
Me: yeah, I’m aware. Today we’re talking about mastodon.
Them: but activitypub!
Repeats forever.
