Mastodon Is the Good One
Good post overall. Some comments:<p>&gt; Here is how you make a Mastodon account: You go to this website. [...]<p>For now. If my memory is correct, Diaspora was also like that; at first everyone went to the same instance. Then they closed registrations, and every post that was saying something similar was suddenly linking to an instance that no longer accepted new accounts.<p>And now users will need to do the exact thing that you (presumably) wanted to avoid: choosing an instance from a list.<p>&gt; Not difficult to use<p>The first thing that comes to mind is if you visit a different Mastodon instance and want to &quot;Like&quot; a post. Don&#x27;t you have to go back to your own instance and find this post on your instance before you can &quot;Like&quot; it?<p>Same with login credentials. I can see someone not techy enough accidentally leaking their account credentials by trying to login to a different Mastodon instance that looks exactly the same as their usual instance.<p>&gt; Anyways, I am using Threads, and I will continue to use Threads, because I am a pragmatic person who wants to connect with readers wherever they are because my livelihood and my reporting relies on it.<p>Eh, this is probably also the reason why many people don&#x27;t even think of moving out of their current centralized social network site.
