Weird ending to this week's @onthemedia , where Brooke and @zoeschiffer mock Mastodon. Brooke acts as if Mastodon doesn't exist any more and says it wasn't successful, and Zoe says she's "not willing to put up with a Mastodon-like experience." I get that it's not for everyone, but the idea that there aren't a ton of people here interacting all the time is... weird.

@mmasnick @onthemedia @zoeschifferhaven't listened yet but that's sad to hear. many of their episodes are great, some are pretty bad. @micahloewinger was active for a while. do they not understand that we're all in this together, just like the early days of the web? few people were using it, the tech wasn't great. but we embraced a vision, built on the basics and collectively, made it great. the exact same dynamics exist now. nobody is in control, it's malleable. no other social network is.

@mmasnick @onthemedia @zoeschiffer I honestly think that some people just haven't used the right interface when they act like this. I can't comprehend it otherwise.

@mmasnick @onthemedia @zoeschiffer Or they just never got their feed set up right, and therefore, they have quiet feeds, because you do have to do the work to get your feed set up, but it's so insane to think that there isn't so much going on here with just the most minimal amount of effort.

@mmasnick @onthemedia @zoeschiffer the experience is functionally the same as Twitter without the algorithm!

@gretared @mmasnick @onthemedia @zoeschiffer I agree! My minimal Twitter use now is “Following” only. I think of algorithms exclusively in the terms first uttered by Mr Weasley to Ginny, “Ginny!" said Mr. Weasley, flabbergasted. "Haven't I taught you anything? …Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain?” (Sorry for the she-who-must-not-be-named reference, but this really is how we should think about algorithms and AI)

@mmasnick @onthemedia @zoeschiffer Is it worth listening to to have those comments rounded out, or was that really just the closer?

@jbaggs @onthemedia @zoeschiffer the segment was mostly about NPR and other public media stations leaving Twitter, and they close out by talking about how it would be good if there were somewhere else to go, and Brooke says people were pitching Mastodon but that wasn't successful, then Zoe says she won't put up with it, says she's hoping there will be somewhere else she can go and that's it.

@mmasnick @jbaggs @onthemedia @zoeschiffer Won’t put up with it? With what, no aggressive algorithm fucking with your timeline? No troll bots ruining the daily discourse? No snobby verified tick? People who are able to have a conversation without it turning into a screaming matching in fewer that 50 words? No overarching right-wing agenda? People who actually like it here?Hope she finds it. Whatever it is.
