my favourite thing about people complaining about mastodon not being architected in a manner that's friendly to marketers/brands/analytics, is that the people don't realise mastodon might have been designed that way for a reason
@maffsie

@maffsie not only that, but it probably a big part of its success!
@maffsie Hacker News hate this Eugen guy! /joke
@maffsie
And it's false.
If a brand wants a server with its own rules, it can.
Even if it had no rights on twitter or FB.
@maffsie but how can you possibly make money except in the way facebook does?!?!?!?! THINK OF THE IPO
@maffsie ahahaha oh no please make mastodon a giant seething pit of advertisements and popups, that's what we're missing from twitter for sure
@maffsie It's not a bug it's a feature.
@maffsie helps fend off the "i'm verified; i'm better than you" mentality, too!
@maffsie I agree! Mastodon has definitely been created this way to prevent mass data collection or control of different communities by one person. There are so many benefits to how Mastodon is set up
@maffsie <vinesaucejoel>"it's a feature"</vinesaucejoel>
