Moved: -> @People saying "Mastodon needs to include more marginalized people" to me just betrays a total lack of effort to even learn about who is working on the project. They assume if they say it's all cishet white men that they'll be right and saying to include marginalized voices is a generally agreeable thing to say to collect social capital and establish yourself as good when actually you're just being a jerk to unpaid trans women

Hypothetically, let's say I spun up my own Mastodon instance, and then I registered my own account on it, and then I froze registrations at just me. This way, I'd be hosting my own account but nobody elses'
Is this a really stupid idea? Does it break a bunch of mastodon features? Would it be a giant pain in the ass to run?

This conversation seems kind of weird to me because it is very different from an analogous situation.
Usernames are like usernames
Node names are like mail domains.
"Oh no, there isn't a globally unique Mastodon name" seems to me like [email protected] being upset that somebody else can take [email protected]. How else would it work!??!?!
You could all just agree to coordinate username uniqueness but this relies on nobody defecting. What do you do to the first node that decides "fuck you I'll name it what I want"?
"No globally unique usernames across federated universe" This is a feature not a bug!
Globally unique usernames require a single source of truth. Single source of truth requires centralized authority. You literally cannot have both

Do y'all just not sleep? Is it drugs? Are you using the drugs?
More importantly, can I HAVE some of the drugs?
I'm getting pizza in MSP and I swear this entire restaurant is propaganda for Big Coal. There's signs everywhere proudly boasting:
"As the first coal-burning pizza restaurant in Minnesota, Black Sheep Pizza seeks to honor the craft of these pioneers by using clean burning Anthracite coal..."
Big Coal. Not even once
