weird article on the front page of esquire about twitter vs #mastodon that doesn’t understand even the basic premise of the #fediverse and misses out entirely on the nature of why lots of small self hosted nodes are stronger then one centralized capitalist blob but alas you have to start somewhere. I have a feeling we are gonna get another wave soon. also a little shoutout to #diaspora in there.

@theoutrider @wakest The Lifehacker piece ( https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235 ) is by @bethskw , and is a solid, basic "Mastodon is a lot of different servers, HERE'S a way to look for servers you might want to join* and HERE'S a solid suggestion if you have zero idea, YES you can communicate between instances (she uses a "banks/credit unions/etc." analogy), and CoCs are a thing".
It's good, imo.
(* Minor quibble is that https://joinmastodon.org doesn't list ALL available servers, butlike. MINOR.)
