This is the mastodon experience in a nutshell

hey mastodon users

Sp3r4z's stats page also has some stats regarding centralisation:

It lists the Gini index in regards to users on Mastodon instances. The Gini index is used in economics to measure income inequality, where a 0 would be perfect equality and 1 complete inequality (all income in the hands of one person).

The Mastodon federation Gini index in regards to users per instance is 0.96.

"The 3 biggest instances representing 52.26% of total users"

@ziphi what you need here is someone to sit on your chest and purr.

From this, I have reached the conclusion that humans are very bad at giving advice.

A summation of the advice that I have received on how to behave like a normal, not completely socially inept, human (paraphrased):

“What do you mean it’s hard? You just *do* it.”

Does anyone know of any blind accessible IM clients that are available on Apple & [either Android or Windows] devices?

I have a friend who primarily uses Text-to-Speech on her Apple phone, and relies on WhatsApp & Facebook messenger. I avoid those because [privacy nastiness + stalker history on them].

We want to talk more, but neither are sure what to suggest. "Install many things, find out which is accessible through trial & error" isn't really fair on her.

a lot of people refer to monsterpit.net as the 'monsterfucker' instance. which is fine, but we're not just about fucking monsters. we're first and foremost about /loving/ monsters, and in many cases we are the monsters
