@manton I’ve been thinking about this since reading your post. I didn’t realize all these issues existed with Mastodon, which has me wondering—should I abandon it or try something like Sharkey, which seems to address many of these problems? That said, Sharkey doesn’t appear to have widespread adoption yet.

I’m also not convinced that Bluesky is the answer. It doesn’t feel like the Twitter replacement we hoped for—at least, not like the pre-Musk Twitter that I really do miss.

Another thing I’ve been considering is whether Micro.blog would even support something like Sharkey if I made the switch. So, I’ve been doing a lot of pondering. Have I been wasting money running a single-user Mastodon instance that could be silenced without me even knowing it?

I still really like the core idea behind Mastodon. That’s what makes this all so frustrating.
