Lol, the first answers are by “autinerd” and “ocdtrekkie”. Mastodon is really something else.

Perhaps the implication is that it's poor form to publicly announce you understand How Things Work so you should use a more neutral handle like SoyLord66 or DankM3mer - same reason nerdctl is a worse Docker.

Who is publicly announcing that they understand How Things Work?

The nerd suffix is poor form was my vague point

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ocdtrekkie is also on here and a reasonably prolific poster.

> Mastodon is really something else.

My biggest gripe with Mastodon is just how bad their thread support is. With Twitter, it's easily noticeable which reply belongs to which chain, Mastodon just flattens everything.

Depends on the client, I think. Toot! for iOS visualizes threads like this and at least it's pretty clear: https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/toot/id1229021451

My biggest gripe is that it is just like twitter: there's no HTML page with text or images. There's only a javascript application to run. For twitter I could use a nitter mirror. For mastadon... I just close that tab because there's no way to avoid executing the javascript that I'm aware of. Does anyone know of a way?

What would I give for an API that returns HTML-formatted JSON for browsers... Rancher for example does that.
