if mastodon is doing a piss poor job of conveying this then that is not all these people's fault, but the practical impact is that multiple verified twitter users with large audiences are lying about how mastodon works lol

I've always said the local timeline model of Mastodon was a bad idea. It's directly led to this idea of having to join a particular instance because of the community, and all the fallout from that around trusting the instance admin and such. Those concerns should be separate.

it's interesting but feels far too coarse-grained. maybe masto needs something like public groups of related accounts so you can use those as a foothold instead
