Mastodon is a problem only if you want it to be a platform
I just found online what is, in my opinion, another proof that certain concerns about the “Twitter replacement” called Mastodon are solid… but the solutions that get the most attention right now may be dead ends.

Two good examples of what I mean are in this post about Mastodon, and in this thread on mastodon.
