  I think the idea that a new Mastodon user is supposed to pick an instance based on affinity/interest is the number one thing that prevents people from joining. I think there needs to be a retooling of the messaging to make it about trust.

  People don't join email services because of affinity. They do because they trust. They trust Google will be around for a long time. Or that hushmail won't sell their data. Or that Hotmail is easy to use. Etc etc.

  Get yourself a Mac... they just work. I think it has something to do with magic. :)
  

  I actually run Windows in a VM just so that I can use Quickbooks Desktop. That is literally the only reason I use Windows.
  
  In other news, I'm going to the Apple Store on Tuesday to get both of my Mac's keyboards replaced cause they're doubling up a bunch of keypresses.

  There was already RDFa and microformats, but that wasn't enough, so Google put out microdata to go with http://schema.org... I fear open data and the web in general seems to be going downhill, these days. Just corporate silos, some of which have their proprietary APIs.

  I see the "whyistayonmastodon" hashtag but I keep reading it as "why is Tay on Mastodon" and I'm like "Who's Tay?"
