  • Don't get too attached: Twitter 'rival' Mastodon will go extinct (mashable.com)
    "In trying to satisfy a spike of new users, Mastodon broke the cardinal rule of social media: it separated them into silos and made it hard if not impossible for them to all socialize. This unfortunate design makes Mastodon feel more like a bunch of chat rooms rather than a cohesive, growing social network."

    "User handles do show up in Toots (blech!) but not in the URLs for users' Mastodon homepages. Giving users numbers (mine is 995) instead of identifiable website addresses makes Mastodon feel amateurish."

    "If you can't find people by name, then how can you follow them on Mastodon? Someone in one local Mastodon timeline may not appear in another (Sorry, Mr. Shatner)."

    "There is no one app called Mastodon. Instead, you can find a Github list of apps for the open-source project. Apps like the iOS-based Amaroq let you log into any of the many Mastodon "instances" by typing in the name. Nope, there's no list of instances because I don't think anyone knows just how many Mastodon instances are out there."

    I am also @mdhughes@mastodon.weaponsvac.space for OSR RPGs.I don't know what the best model for this is, an account on every instance you're interested in, so you can read local?

    @mdhughes It's fascinating to me that this behavior is emerging. Clearly there is a desire to read the local timelines for specific communities. I'd like to see this happen without needing to create new identities for each. (Obviously if you *want* a new identity that should be possible too)

    I suspect Mastodon.social will be a hot topic at tonight's Homebrew Website Club! http://calagator.org/events/1250471607

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
