Quote
we can all wish that things were more generic and more sort of higher, higher level but then it's sort of like it's wishing versus sort of accepting reality as it is

Summary
On using Mastodon as the 'S3 of social' for podcast comments, Dave says we can all wish things were more generic and higher-level, but that's wishing versus accepting reality. A practical bonus of piggybacking on Mastodon instances is that moderating comments becomes the instance's problem, not the app's.

interaction with activity Pub is going to happen in a mastodon client. We've just got to be honest about that. That's what's going to happen.
