“Mastodon is too complicated!” say people on Twitter.

Meanwhile, I’m shitposting my life away on here, and I’m as thick as mince.

@DJDarren I mean, maybe? But at least Mastodon isn't rate limiting its entire userbase...

Complicated but works beats simple but doesn't work every single time.

@DJDarren Irony is Mastodon displaying an impenetrable error message after a try to toot a reply attesting to how simple it is to use.
@Hirsutable No it's simple you see, because it's just that the server you're on isn't federated with the other server and something something something blah blah blah
@Hirsutable But to your initial reply; yes, that sounds about right.

@DJDarren that's the best sort of thick too
