Okay here's a real toot that you can actually boost without people looking at you like you're crazy.

The past few weeks (okay, ever since the schism) I've felt kind of disenchanted by Mastodon and especially its development environment, and I wrote an essay about why that is. It's long, but if you're interested in Mastodon's history or politics you should give it a read.

@u2764 Thanks - Even though my account dates back way before the "goldrush" (Dec/Jan) I wasn't really part of this initial community you describe, and it's great to gain some insight about it. Still, I think the rumours of Mastodon's death are exaggerated. Gargron and the other admins seem to try really hard to preserve some of the "Communist Manifesto and Fursuit" attitude which is what sets Mastodon apart from the rest of the "Fediverse", and I hope for them to succeed.
