Different constructs can be used to describe the *same* #reality.

@cambridgeport90 @freemo I mean, he was asked point blank about forking #Mastodon, and kinda acted like that’d never happened before
Control in #Cybernetics always has to come from the outside or is exerted, not internally onto the elements that make the system but onto something else outside of the "control" system.
Even such brilliant thinkers as #FJ_Varela, one of the "fathers" of #autopoiesis could not escape this profoundly ingrained "cybernetic" assumption:
>"#Autonomy means, literally, self-law. To see what this entails, it is easier to contrast it with its mirror image, #allonomy or **external law**. This is, of course, what we call #control. These two images, autonomy and control, do a continuous dance."
**Francisco J. Varela** - *Principles Of Biological Autonomy*
it's a kinda disappointing that the official mastodon app lacks so many essential features compared to tusky
Whether Mastodon has 5K or 5M users doesn’t matter. You only need to follow about 500 of them to get a pretty rich social media experience that doesn’t suck like ad driven social media.
