Getting a lot more done now that I'm not stressing about getting things done. Funny how that works!
Basically, I hit complete and total meltdown after pushing myself so hard that I wasn't able to function. I've resolved never to take on that kind of self-pressure anymore... it doesn't make me more productive, and it hurts.
(Ps thanx to all my friends who have listened to me stress out over the last couple weeks, I know I've been annoying at times.)

The only way Mastodon could fail is if it becomes a niche refuge for artists, bohemians, outcasts, and dreamers, and the vast bulk of boring people stay on Twitter. Oh wait

@6gain #SurveillanceCapitalism is certainly harder when there isn't the same "real names" requirement to produce a robust social graph which advertisers can use. -

Periodic PSA: All open source & free software licenses are "commercial" so please don't use that word as an antonym for FOSS. The word you're looking for is "proprietary".

@aral @mulander what they always try to do if an open system gets popular enough is: - Create a supernode and attract users with offers, games or enticing but ultimately elusive revenue models (like Adwords)
- Slowly an as unobtrusively as possible add proprietary extensions to the protocol so that users can be captured on the supernode and can't easily just move to another server. Claim it's all in the interests of "innovation" and "user choice".
- Declare the original system to be obsolete and deprecate the original protocol in favor of their proprietary one.

An observation about #SurveillanceCapitalism is that merely moving to a federated system such as gnusocial does not prevent Google or Facebook from collecting it all, but it does prevent them from manipulating timelines, inserting ads or unilaterally censoring people.
