Meanwhile, I can see this very Mastadon post with no login just fine.

And the interface is not trying to assault me. It loads quick.

...Seems like a better product than Twitter for a public feed.

I'm sure the loads are not comparable.

Honestly.

what the fuck is this response?

I hear always that centralising everything is great because efficiencies of scale: but then we have something that works as good or better and the response is; “ah yeah, but the load is so high!”

Why do I care? I don't honestly give a shit about how much load you have, you could be factoring Pi on every page load; it means -nothing- to me. I kindly invite you to give more of a shit about user experience.

This also goes for when “complicated” systems fail, maybe making them so complicated and centralised is not the way.

Mastodon isn't truly decentralized. Every instance is its own feifdom and you have to communicate directly with them to exchange messages. This is unlike how Usenet, FidoNet, and SMTP work. They are truly decentralized as you can exchange data without directly accessing a peer's host server.

I genuinely don't understand what you mean here. I don't directly access any peer's server when I want to talk to them.
