Mastodon is actually horrible to administer Jesus christ

Who made half of these design decisions? Monkeys snorting public pool water?

@kirby wym?

@lamp it's terrible to install, some of the instructions outright need changing in the documentation

Administering is not much better as there are no way to configure a lot of settings like disabling confirmation of email during sign up, nor is there a way to change the post count without changing code of mastodon itself

Plus with the undisableable media proxy you really just look at pleroma and say "lain is my new god"

@kirby these are not things you are meant to be doing

@lamp "those are not things you are meant to be doing" does not nullify any of these points

In fact knowing garglenuts probably won't add support for any of these features and it will remain completely unsupported makes it even worse

@kirby you shall use the software the way it was meant to be used, or you shall cope and sneeze

@lamp say I design banking software except it has a bunch of missing features and things that make it an utter pain in the ass to use

And I say "this is how it was meant to be used, sorry champ"

Does that nullify any complaints that come through to the software?

@kirby It's only a pain in the ass for you to use because you're trying to use it like Pleroma.

@lamp ok, lessee

Pleroma: Microblogging software

pleroma: pleroma microblogging software
