i'm fucking dying at the latest meta. Eugen decided it was a good idea to send iOS official app users registering their first accounts to a random server on the JoinMastodon.org list. including servers that are just for kiwis. or Jewish people. or Freemasons

mastodon.social/@Gargron/10983

@vyr what in the actual ever loving poorly thought out shit is this

@chel @vyr I think this ties into his wild idea that all mastodon instances should essentially just be free hosting space for his idea of what social media should be? and? doesn't acknowledge people actually built *communities*???

@elfi @vyr website boy is mastodon's worst feature tbh

Follow

@chel @vyr seriously, like this is the same divorced thought process that led to him wanting to do away with local timelines and such in that app, so I'm not surprised this kind of thing is showing up in it too

Website boy refuses to understand what his software's being used for and that's kind of frightening

@elfi @vyr nah, I think he understands just fine, seems like he's just stomping his feet and being like "nyo! use it this way!"

@chel @vyr Okay, refuses to accept it at least

Either way, it'd be funny if it weren't so sad

@chel @elfi @vyr i mean thats *literally* what he did re: markdown support in mainline mastodon

@compufox @elfi @vyr oh no, people might use italics for emphasis! heaven forbid! :blobfox0_0:

@vyr @compufox @elfi honestly? I can think of no better reason tbh
