       @phoenixIt's pretty great right now actually, I've yet to find any problems with it.

       @phoenixAh yeah, fair point. Using it for anything else though is literally amazing. Also I'm kinda new to the Mastodon thing, what's Plemora?

       @puffycheeks @phoenix Okay that's pretty impressive... Has anyone ever tried to do something with IPFS and Mastadon? Like is there a way to just make your local machine the node and sync content between your devices?

       @phoenix @puffycheeks I don't know if it would necessarily work with Mastodon's protocols, but could you potentially do something with a DHT and completely distribute the social network, so that identities were only tied down to the specific device/user?

       @phoenix @puffycheeks Okay, so Scuttlebutt seems to be a little bit more "sharded" than I was thinking, and it seems harder to transport from desktop to mobile. This would be something that's actually distributed, based on a DHT or blockchain, so that it's portable as well as permanent and highly available.

       @phoenix Portability seems to be the main thing that Mastodon struggles with; if the admin here for instance shuts down this server, I have no way to transport my account to a different instance. That's pretty unnerving.
