Getting up and running on Mastodon went fine for me, I just signed up and tried it, with minimal hassle. Nova at hachyderm.io seems to be doing a great job managing the tsunami of signups, as people flee Twitter. I do like the social architecture of communities with their local flavor. imo, many of our systems are hyper-centralized and thus brittle - I guess Id seen adverts increase in Twitter and was going to move at some point. I dont want to be on a platform that can be killed due to a single entity [ be it rage-quit, selling out to ad revenue, government overreach, conservative religion etc ] I do worry about youtube and reddit for this reason. These things seem like societal infrastructure which should be at least partly 'owned' by the content creators / consumers. When I go back to poke around Twitter it just seems like a hot mess.. Im glad I left. I do feel some nostalgia towards it, they built a cool thing. Twitter is dead .. long live the internet.
