@dmoren @jsnell @gruber In any case, thinking about Mastodon as the email protocol for Tweets is probably the right mindset.

@dmoren @jsnell @gruber You all should run your own instances and at least own your user name forever. The free public instances have no business model and running these servers for hundreds of thousands of users for free is unsustainable. https://medium.com/illumination/why-do-i-run-my-own-mastodon-instance-server-698ad3c060b8

@dmoren @jsnell @gruber The very issue (rate limits) you’re talking about here is a direct result of somebody having to pay the bill for these Mastodon instances. It’s pretty likely that this is not “going to be fixed”, unless mastodon.social starts charging users.
