Some things I don't understand about Mastodon:

1. Why the obsession with 'move' instead of 'use'? Since when did people become forced to use only one website or one platform or one product?

2. Why the constant arguments over the pros and cons of federation? The ends users stance: 'Who cares!' All the want is a platform that works for them and gives them the content they seek, and doesn't break every 5 minutes. They care little for the technical merits.

3. Federation sounds great, but ultimately the majority of users, if say a migration from Twitter was to occur, will likely flock to one instance, and that's likely to be mastodon.social as it's the most obvious and prominent instance shown to new users. So uhh, then who cares about federation?

A technical solution looking for a problem ... and it may have found a problem - which is kind of refreshing.
