Or, and I genuinely am just throwing this out there, I could be a Discord user. That's really my point here. Mastodon looks like cool tech that nobody needs.

I don't use a computer to be a revolutionary. I use it to make tasks easier. If someone wants to change it into something better, great, but it probably won't be me that does it.

I already have what I want.

So I actually looked into Mastodon yesterday, to see what I could figure out about it.

It looks like Discord, but if everyone were limited to a Twitter interface and had no voice or video calls. And look, that might work well for some people.

But the major, major limiter here is that there is no good way to discover communities of interest. There is no meaningful search function that I can find.

Everything I can do in Mastodon, I can do more easily in Discord. I might be missing something here (highly likely, I'm 37), but this looks like a solution in search of a problem.

Filing that TDY voucher with finance must have been the worst thing in the world.

"TDY location not approved."

"TDY lodging not on the list, member must pay out of pocket or attach amended orders authorizing variations."

"TDY transportation via Saturn-V rocket not authorized, mileage only authorized for the first 1000 miles."
