This is a personal favorite for my #QuoteSharing today:

“Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, ‘In this world, Elwood, you must be’—she always called me Elwood—‘In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant.’ Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.”
— Elwood P. Dowd

(Perfectly played by James Stewart, in the quirky & delightfully amusing movie Harvey.)

@IPEdmonton The question is what makes something a part of the #fediverse ? The answer is.... Anything that leverages #activitypub. I run an instance of #friendica even though it has about 80% feature match with #Mastodon for two reasons.
1) It was easier to configure and get running on my #SelfHosting setup
2) It has features mastodon doesn't including a community event calendar and #quotesharing (which is a topic of great debate amongst mastodon users)

#fediverse means that you can interact with the streams exactly the way you want. It's not competition, it is a rising tide lifting all boats circumstance. I hope there are 100 microblogging tools out there soon.
