not that there aren't other problems here, but mastodon is one of the world's largest open source socio-technical systems and we've got people banging it with wrenches to try and make people work correctly.
a mastodon server is like a pet wolf: a bad idea for all involved unless you really know what you're going into and also have maybe taken more than a few zookeeping seminars. Because it takes a team. at best.
Suddenly feeling really glad I got off of Mastodon, cuz of things like this.
it has changed a lot -- there's just not a lot you can do at that size to make it work better than it does, everything is heavy at that point
sociology wise no it hasn't changed at all outside of small shifts, but some of that is instance insularity, the newer ones with a lot of ex-twitter people who care about open source ideals or w/e are pretty chill for now though. for now.
