having separate instances sucks ass. different rules and content policies and technical decisions (custom emoji, post length, etc), inter-instance drama, admins, longevity (lack thereof), all shit most people don't want to think about.

for example, i tried to add a friend from cohost on here, turns out my instance blocked him for reasons unknown. admin won't respond to my emails, so i guess that's that, not allowed to be friends with him anymore.

@noahtheduke honestly some of the replies in that thread are my biggest problem with mastodon. mcc suggests asking people who bounced off why and a guy is like "i simply dont understand what you're getting at"

along with a bunch of implying people trying anything else are foolish for wanting anything they don't want. its just so genuine here, you know
