      - you're exactly correct. I'll take your damn ads. just give me a chronological timeline and prioritize my friends. - mandy on home machine Jul 7, 20:26
      - There's a theory that mastodon is only confusing because nerds keep trying to explain everything in too much detail. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 20:24 3
        
        I don't get about mastodon how to find things I like and why my server matters. can I see everything or no? should I be on a different server? why? - mandy on home machine Jul 7, 20:27 2
        
        If I tried to explain it, I would only make it sound more complex than it actually is. Which happens when I try to explain anything. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 20:29 1

- It will drown under the weight of its own success as the immoderable masses of users who've flooded it flop everywhere like rabid sealions -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 20:01
- it will improve (quickly one hopes). Twitter will be functionally dead in less than a month -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 7, 19:59
