@ChrisWere Fascinating take really.

I'm still on the Twitterverse I just figured it's less noisy here, also, less commercial :D

@brandon
I still have my Twitter account for DMing with friends mostly, and auto posting my videos.

Here, the people are just more interesting and generally pleasant to talk to.

Tbh, I don't know if I want Masto to go mainstream. I like it here.

@ChrisWere I completely agree, if it goes mainstream though, it'll be easy to restrict our timelines because of decentralization.

Hopefully masto instances can globally be marked as commercial or something at some point that way those who don't want that in their federated timeline, won't get it

@brandon @ChrisWere @Gargron this is a doubleplusgood idea! Corporate instances! Great way to quarantine the ads.

@h4ck3r9 did you recently read 1984 or something?

@brandon actually yes I did. :) that was one of my favorite words. As an avid student of language, I actually think that word should be added to the dictionary. It's already in my AOSP keyboard dictionary. :)

@h4ck3r9
That torture though...I'm still reeling from that :p

@brandon yeah, that was pretty graphic for words on a page. I mean the stimulation of the imagination was very in depth. Purely a psychological experience for the reader. Nowadays, you'd have to put that behind a content warning.

@h4ck3r9
Oh pish posh! That psychological trauma's good for character building! /S

@brandon amen to that!

@drwho @brandon @jk

Unfortunately, it isn't. The person/bot in question is a poster on cybre.space.

I lost a lot of respect for her for co-opting trans oppression.

@phantasmal_yearnest @brandon @jk O.O

I was not aware of this...
