@Nezchan @Pasty @lain also, birdsite is full of bots and for-profit accounts, and there's no way to distinguish between a real person and a for-profit post from a single twit. In mastodon, we build trust on instances instead of single persons. We know that some instances punish bots, and we also know that some instances are meant for bots. That makes a lot simpler to find humans to interact with.
