You Can't Cancel Taylor Lorenz
What Future with Joshua Topolsky
Mastodon
Mastodon just feels too controlled. I deleted my tweet, but of course someone screenshotted it and it's gotten thousands of likes on some tweet calling me a monster. You're missing that when you're on Mastodon is that people aren't mobbing you. It reminds me of not to get into a Mastodon conversation because it was more about your perspective on this which I find so interesting. But I guess what I do appreciate about Twitter is the serendipity of it and the kind of being exposed to new things and being challenged on things. iReporter: Do we really need to pile on this like deranged person? Like clearly they're having a bad day

Episode notes
Speaker 2
I'm joking. I fucked up and I defended this terrible person because I didn't realize they were terrible now I did. I deleted my tweet, but of course someone screenshotted it and it's gotten thousands of likes on some tweet calling me a monster. Right, and
Speaker 1
you're like, that's what you like. You're missing that when you're on Mastodon is that people aren't mobbing you.
Speaker 2
No, I don't like any of that. I don't like any of that. But I guess what I do appreciate about Twitter is the serendipity of it and the kind of being exposed to new things and being challenged on things. I do like that. I do like how big and messy it is and Mastodon just feels too controlled. Yeah,
Speaker 1
it's definitely smaller. It reminds me of not to get into a Mastodon conversation because it was more about your perspective on this which I find so interesting. And I'm reading now, what did you retweet? Something about some chili story? Yeah,
Speaker 2
well, so like, no, let me just explain in like a few sentences. Yes, please do, please do. It's a lovely kind woman made chili for her neighbors and this like other person comes in and basically like accuses her of being a horrible person and being racist or something because she made assumptions about her neighbors. That's crazy, okay? So thousands of people pile on that deranged reply. Right. And I was like, do we really need to pile on this like deranged person? Like clearly they're having a bad day or there's some shit going on with them. Like I don't think that these dynamics are productive.
Speaker 1
You mean the person who, just sorry, just be clear, the person who was like, this story about this woman making chili is like racist or whatever, right? You're like, don't pick on that person.
