Having a hard time not yelling at people today over conflicting expectations of what Mastodon can/should be and do.
...and it's not really people's fault, not entirely. There's a nasty tradeoff every platform (and every user) has to make around privacy, and it's mostly not the fault of the users that they don't have good options to choose from.
I feel like I know part of the path to a better solution, but not the whole thing.
