The fragmentation among friends that follows Twitter’s collapse is exactly the kind of problem that Mastodon and the social web solves for. Imagine that you don’t have to pick and choose which new platform to adopt, or make and maintain a million accounts—because you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on. That’s our reality.
@Gargron Please stop putting the word "for" after "solves". The expression "Solve for X", is mathematical and it means to find X as an expression of the other variables, and that's totally different. Every time you do this it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Please stop.
When a problem is "solved" it's "solved". It's not "solved for".
