I keep returning to the energy of programming in the 90s and today I realised it had the romantic vibe of a knitting group – a bunch of people doing something weird that is a lot of fun for them regardless of practical application or money. I think Mastodon has some of that vibe, too, and I think we need to keep that here and fight for keeping that in computing in general, against all techbros who want to mass-produce shitty acrylic jumpers.
