@kyletorpey @aantonop Hey! This seems like a promising platform, no glitches so far. Thinking of setting up my own mastodon server when I have time. And "toot" sounds cooler than "tweet". Thank's @aantonop for the tip!

@kalle @aantonop still trying to figure out the flaws with the system. seems instances may have too much power if it were to scale.

@kyletorpey @aantonop you mean that instances will gravitate towards centralization?
Show threadKyle TorpeyApr 10, 2017
@aantonop @kalle there is some friction with migrating to another instance which can be an issue if you trust an instance you should not have trusted. I think solutions for this exist though.

@kalle @aantonop also possible network effect will build around a few major instances that only connect with each other. in that case, being able to move to another instance not that valuable.

@kyletorpey @kalle @aantonop You mean, just like when a few Bitcoin miners collude against the rest of the network? ;-)
