Anyway, I posted all that in response to yet another "I can't believe how stupid these people are" thread reacting to a mainstream media article that talks about Bluesky and Mastodon and finds Mastodon wanting.

I *agree* with you that this is better; but I think you all have a MASSIVE blind spot for what the ACTUAL problem is when "Very Serious People" join this federation of servers.

It doesn't work like they think it's supposed to work cause it's IRC, not Twitter.
