I think I would rather end up using various kinds of self-administered ActivityPub websites rather than Mastodon
I just will only ever think of “social“ posts as throwaway little messages, and letting my website posts extend into those seems great, and like I sort of miss blog comments, but I don’t feel like I really need to “be there” on whatever kind of future social-media-like place there is
I haven’t really figured out how replying works in this model, but I think the way I’d want it to look is that I follow every kind of thing in one reading app, and that app is authenticated with my website to create posts that other ActivityPub servers see as replies, and on my site are like hidden blog posts or something
@jon this is pretty much Micro.blog. Shockingly close.
@jsonbecker I know, but I need each site to have its own set of features and its own data models and whatnot.
