[tantek] ooof lots in here that taps into community matters and frankly good and bad examples of how to reply across sites: https://erinkissane.com/mastodon-is-easy-and-fun-except-when-it-isnt
#
[tantek] ^ LOTS in there to learn from and consider especially for #indieweb-dev folks, and lots sounded resonant with some of the feedback I've seen about #indieweb things too

[jeremycherfas] Aside from the “eating your vegetables is a pain” trope a very interesting article indeed. Makes me feel good that I have not jumped on Mastodon and tilts me further to going all in on http://micro.blog for my notes stream.

c​apjamesg “the federation model is a mess and it’s impossible to use. i’ve been using computers all day every day since the 90s and mastodon makes me question whether i’m actually good at them”

[Murray] I'm working towards using categories and tags as a way to do something similar, as hubs in a sense that link out to articles, notes, etc., and I have several "evergreen" posts already that serve more as information stores (one of the reasons I began exploring the idea), so yeah, I'd say it's worth experimenting with at least
