The cultural backlash on the birdsite over Mastodon is hilarious. Not the fediverse; no one gives a fuck about that. Mastodon is the problem, look at this guy stux, what a tyrant! What are edges in a network? I dunno, but filter bubbles!
@skells It's a message queue, and a slightly out-of-date one at that -- it honestly doesn't take 5000 people to manage a single message queue and load balancing at regional centers. It's running fine and I expect it to keep running fine, in that way people trust the PDP11 down in the basement to keep on reading the tape, reaching the end, and rewinding.
@7 about what I figured, although if you believe the memes...
never believe the memes
