Definitely looking forward to Twitter's 280 change to help me communicate better with people there (it was always the reason I preferred G+, for instance, over Twitter), but it would overall be preferred if more people just used Mastodon.
Mastodon's big issue is that it isn't fully decentralized. I don't want to give Twitter all of my trust, but I also don't want to put all my trust into some random server just because it isn't Twitter.
Can you help me understand what you mean by "isn't fully decentralized"?
If you're running your own server, my understanding it's trusted by default by most servers - There is a blacklist of untrusted federation servers, rather than a whitelist?
In what way would you prefer it to be setup?
More of a p2p model, rather than a federated model?
