over on #postnews they've fixed the profile URL issue (among other beta growing pains). So you can find me right here:

Not to be annoying, but why not just Mastodon / Fediverse? #postnews seems like another walled garden, eager to get hold of people to monetize and manipulate. What's good about it?

@ceoln @rmayemsinger I am okay with Mastodon, but I think it needs some big changes. I wish the usernames would work across every server. I wish you could jump to either server easier, and I think servers need bigger general names. There's so many things with random names that make no sense, so it would work better to see separated as subjects.. or elect to see federated. Also, general folks don't know what the hell federated even means so, that should be updated/changed too.

@phartsy

Fair enough. For me, I've just about concluded that convenience at that level inevitably leads to things (like centralization and corruption and passive users and...) that just aren't worth it.

Things that are chaotic and make no sense are sometimes good. :)

And general folks can by-jiggety learn what "federated" means! {/old man yelling at cloud/}

@ceoln @rmayemsinger I mean, I’m not saying this is bad at all. I just think it needs updates to how things work or are labeled. Keeping it the same would be totally fine, it’s just weird when masto.ai, mastodon.world, mastodon.social, etc are all basically the “same” things, but I can’t really see those servers easily. So I’m always wondering, which is best? Am I on the best? When I was in mastodon.art, it was cool BUT I ONLY saw art, and I wanted more subjects in feed.

@phartsy @ceoln @rmayemsinger It’s said that some instances have disconnected this week from mastodon.social because of reputed lax moderation here, or worse. I’m staying in it for now, though, because I haven’t been told people can’t find me yet. I still see stuff from .sfba.
