A part of me really hopes that Musks' seemingly-incompetent handling of Twitter does sort of legitimize Mastodon (and other Fediverse projects) to the public.

I set up a mastodon server a few weeks ago out of boredom, and I finally get the appeal of tweeting, and have been using it regularly, and it makes me happy that I get to own all the hardware powering it.
- bmitc 3y agoTwitter was already confusing. Mastodon more so.
- tombert 3y agoI agree; it's honestly easier for me now because my mastodon instance has exactly one user (me). Substantially less cluttered because there's no attempt at a recommendation algorithm.
- 627467 3y agoI could bet that number of users losing their account on mastodon on way or the other is proportionally higher than on Twitter. Instance admins are more powerful that reddit mods. Yeah, you could take your date elsewhere, but not your original identify (yourNameAtSomeoneElsesDomain). (...unless you're selfhosting your instance)
