On the other hand, I started my own blog and Facebook-like forum for less than $10/month, and all my friends are able to access it and connect with me from any of their multitude of devices.
And included in the same fee is the ability to spin up more sites for each friend who wants one too.
And they can all inter-operate and copy posts between each other.
Mastodon is pretty much just another Facebook, split into pieces.

- KronisLV 5y ago> The Web is a real, viable, free platform, today. As long as you have friends who are willing/happy to use these alternate platforms? Sure! I'm not saying that platforms like Mastodon shouldn't exist, them being there in the first place is promising and a good thing. If they work for you, keep using them! However, we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking that they're a viable alternative for certain use cases, such as maximizing your outreach.
