6. K & R & Boosted! Man, I fucking hate Mastodon...

If this was a tweet, I could click on the link in the OP, and retweet it in seconds.

But because Mastodon is ridiculously and inexplicably composed of thousands of different servers, when I click on Reich's "toot," it won't let me retoot or "boost" it, since Reich created his account on a different Mastadon server than I did. Instead, I need to copy his Mastadon hashtag name then paste into into the search box on my Mastsdon server, then once I find him, I have to look for his toot under his page. Once I find the toot, then I can finally rebtoot. Sheesh.

Why can't we have a good, functional alternative to Twitter?
