To understand recursion, you first have to understand recursion.
Databases. Distributed Systems. Politics. The rest is climate.
Looking for a new position after getting laid off from Twitter earlier this month.
If you have open Rust positions send me a DM ♥️✌️

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.
For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).
"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.
There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.
It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.
Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.
@davidallengreen On a related note, I don't know how well it applies to other disciplines, but one of my mantras from a lot of experience working as a product development engineer is "More than 6 people in a meeting is an announcement, not a discussion".
That's based on meetings lasting 30 to 60 minutes. In that amount of time it seems up to 6 people can make meaningful contributions, but if you have any more than that there's a high probability at least one person won't say anything.
Talks from Linux Plumbers Conference 2022 are up on YouTube! And so is the one which Dave Tucker and I gave about Rust in the Linux kernel (via #eBPF and https://aya-rs.dev).
Is your home instance based in (if elsewhere or you don’t know please post it as a reply):
Boosts appreciated for better sample size 
I agree David. The business model ($$$) of commercial social media is to drive interactions regardless of the quaility. Because Mastodon has no requirement for such a business model, it has been designed to facilitate higher quality interactions and therefore improve users experience.
