@hankgreen Personally, I think the icky problems of Twitter were how it inevitably turns things into a contest and I'm not feeling that here, yet.
Maybe it's just too early, but I think the fractured nature is a big help
@TechConnectify that would certainly be a help. Also helpful is it being smaller.
@hankgreen Honestly I think it's too early to know what it IS — and I'm sure as heck not gonna tell you I think it's the future of social media.
But I am interested in nourishing it. I can imagine some futures here with a lot of possibilities.
In terms of UX, Mastodon is a confusing disaster of inconsistencies.
Want to find something on Twitter? Just type it in and click what you want.
Want to find something on Mastodon? Type it in, get almost no results, try to figure how how to find federated results on whatever 'fracture' you happen to be on, then click the result...
Oops! That's on a different fracture. Time to make and verify a new account!
I've already lost track of how many accounts I have now.
@weblure @TechConnectify @hankgreen You should format this into actionable improvements and open issues for it on the mastodon github so that improvements can be made!
..Or did you just want to complain?
@Swedneck @TechConnectify @hankgreen
Sorry, which Github repo for which variation of Mastodon? And what would your solution be for fixing the fundamental flaws behind the service's very foundation? I can't simply conjoin the usernames & passwords of multiple accounts across the array of networks with a pull request. Open source doesn't mean magical.
It'd have to be completely remade from the ground up. So essentially, you're just saying "make your own service if you want something better."
