So just got finished watching the latest #MogulMail and agree with the view of #mastodon #fediverse “It is like the kick back, everyone early to the party" because we are people willing to embrace something new that isn't mainstream.

That said, I think getting to his core point about social media as it is today is all about companies trying to monetize our time/attention, but that is something why the #fediverse is so crucial because we are a place that is designed where people are in control not the companies.

Yes, I agree we are most likely years from #fediverse ever being considered as he refers to us "the party" but that isn't what we are designed to be... we are the people who want social media that isn't about the popularity contest, but more about helping people have meaningful interactions. Boosts, Favorites, are way less here but are more meaningful because it isn't a popularity contest.
