Having a conversation on Blue Sky about the frustration people over there have with Mastodon.

A lot of it involves capricious defederation, where server admins, usually of smaller instances, will sever people from their friends by defederating from a server over the presence of a few trolls. And, the instability of building a network in such conditions.

One person mentioned radio silence from an admin after being unable to log in.

@alexwild I think someone should make a Mastodon shard called (something animal sound like squack) and advertise on Twitter and ask everyone to pass it to their followers. It can be the Twitter away from Twitter. I don't want to do it but someone should.
