Björn Schießle"Mastodon broke the cardinal rule of social media: it separated them into silos" sorry @LanceUlanoff but this is not the "cardinal rule of social media". This the cardinal rule of walled gardens build to grow the product (the users) in order to sell them to advertisers. http://mashable.com/2017/04/05/mastodon-wont-survive/
imo@bes "It's more project than product. Unless someone buys the code off Rochko today and consolidates this mess ASAP, it can't survive." Alles, was halt kein Produkt ist und woraus man kein Geld machen kann, ist halt zum scheitern verurteilt, so der Gedankengang des Herrn Ulanhoff.
Rysiekúr (old account)@bes Twitter, Facebook, Google+ are silos. Jeebus, how deep is this guy's Stockholm syndrome?
Michael 🇺🇦@bes Just imagine, someone did the same with cloud storage and had tried to decentralize it! This is a "no-go"!!!11111
Paul Pritchard@bes The shorter @LanceUlanoff: "It's mastodons fault that I'm too lazy and ignorant to understand anything that isn't Twitter."
AndStatus@bes You opened my eyes, thank you. I thought that creation of a new custom client API for Mastodon with strictly centralized communication was a developer's desire to do at least something "new"... What a naive I was when I tried to argue at https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/419 that federation-oriented API would be better for GNU Social community and wandered why I wasn't heard...
Now this looks like a deliberate decision for Mastodon to wall-garden users in separate instances. Quite appropriate for a corporate customer, but bad for federated social networking?!
