People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

And even back then (on FidoNet) we had consistent view on nodes, which is, as I mentioned, the base of communication. Many people seem to mix up commercialisation, centralisation and concistency. For the sake of argument (since it has its own problems) there is Matrix which is decentralised yet consistent.

However this is a "subscribe-only" service: you only see messages you pull, or some local people pull for you, and nothing more, so the communities live in their own little bubble with very few connections to outside. There are no common groups, there are no "public stream", not even "following themes or hashtags globally". No trends, no stats.
And I've seen over there how helpful global trends can be to notice global things fast. I miss that here.

Also I am not sure that mastodon would be able to handle the stream of a huge instance, but I cannot even try.
Also it would be possible to automagically pull the rest of the threads but nobody seemed to care to implement it.
