I promised on Twitter to write a replacement site this weekend while drinking a case of beer.

I'm half way through one of those goals.

/ mission 1/4 accomplished?

Now would be a good time for Drew to release Chitter. TFD wrapped in a shiny new app with a cute squirrel logo and posts can be called "Nuts". $10/month gets you a logo with bigger nuts next to your name. You'd have people everywhere "Nutting" like crazy and the cash would come rolling in.

Mastodon is a dangerous alternative for folks reporting risky information.

While Twitter "proper" had safeguards due to the centralized nature of the servers.
Mastodon has the exact opposite. Random servers catering to your perspective.
Each server is a breeding ground for malware and surreptitious monitoring.

If you can't operate Mastodon, you don't deserve an internet. Also, use a browser.

Mastodon is going through growing pains right now.  LOTS of people are joining and finding their way around.  If this had been the original popular social platform and Twitter was the "little brother," there would be lots of teeth-gnashing and "OMG, this really sucks" comments as users tried out Twitter.

That said, I'm finding lots of good content on Mastodon.  It's not the same, but I'm finding myself enjoying that site more and more.
