Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

@GossiTheDog Why can't computers be perfect?

@ravirockks Because they are made and programmed by humans, an inherently flawed species.

@GossiTheDog

@finlaydag33k @GossiTheDog Humans are not flawed. The people viewing humans as flawed are flawed.

Those people need to be shown the mirror.

@ravirockks Ah yes... Because all those times kings, dictators and other types of "rulers" sent people to die in wars, just so they themselves can obtain more power and riches sure is an indicator of a "perfect species"...

And 1001 more jokes to tell yourself.

@GossiTheDog

@finlaydag33k @GossiTheDog Glad you realised I was actually joking, Aroop.

@ravirockks It's hard to pick up jokes over text.

@GossiTheDog

@finlaydag33k @GossiTheDog Well, what can I say, we humans are flawed buggers, eh?
