Warning: using #Mastodon in #Emacs is highly addictive
I think the main problem that I have here is that Mastodon is so smoothly integrated into Emacs, which is the tool around which all of the knowledge and information that I accumulate on my computer. So I spend way too much time just reading and cataloging stuff, and talking with people, on the Internet without having to leave the comfort of my text editor, and if I am not careful I can spend hours and hours doing it without even noticing time pass.
With Emacs is so easy to navigate Mastodon, so easy to create personal, off-line catalogs of posts, easy to bookmark things, easy to reply to people with your bookmarks, easy to compose blog articles incorporating all of that information, easy to create lists of news articles, people, servers, apps, all in one place with a single piece of software.
Yeah, so far, that is my only complaint about the Mastodon.el client, it lets you travel near light-speed down all of the rabbit holes effortlessly. The thing is, these rabbit holes are, for all intents and purposes, infinite. You may be able to navigate at light speed, that doesn't mean you actually ever really "make progress" toward the end of the tunnel.
