Thinking a lot about the last week of the #MNFringe. At one time, Twitter was a great place to connect with members of the Fringe community during the Fringe, but I'm not finding any local fringe activity on Mastodon. Maybe this is too niche for Mastodon at this stage in growth.

At this moment, it seems that social media is too fragmented to be an effective tool at events and conferences in the way that Twitter once was.

I can't help but wonder if that moment in time is simply gone.
