@piecritic yep
@srijays @mheiber @egrasmed I'll ping @Gargron but I don't think so - see https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1561
At a network/server level, you could prevent communication with the larger fediverse. But Mastodon doesn't have that functionality.
@njoseph_1 It would depend what app you're using, if I understand you correctly
@hoodieak Your profile shows you as posting 171 statuses a day 😆
folks i'm gonna be real honest with you...
i NEED this Mastodon thing to take off because i just ordered 80,000 of these bumper stickers from the printer, and i can't afford to be caught holdin' my junk if this whole thing fizzles.
please consider my personal commercial interests when choosing a social media platform, thk u!
@hoodie@dev.glitch.social @hoodieak Ooh, another ActivityPub implementation

I still see the occasional person on Twitter say that Mastodon will never "succeed", but I wouldn't call what Twitter has "success". Mastodon is good ol' community building.
We don't want to be exhausted by brands and promotion, nor have the platform continue to be unethically designed and lack any backbone for moderation. Federation spreads out the moderation task and the lack of brands and promotional nonsense is good. We can just follow and talk with others which is all people really need.
@xfkwang Huh, that's impressive.
