Welcome @jackerhack 🎉 That's one hell of a journey ✊ Deep respect for all your movements and fights but I have just one question. How come we see you creating an account in #Fediverse so late after the exodus have joined. Normal expectation would be that you joined 2 years back 🤔

@pavi When signing up, I checked for an existing account and was surprised to find none. Maybe it was on a different host and it's lost somewhere in my password manager.

FWIW, I have copycat fatigue as well. Diaspora ruined the "same same but different management" take on these things.

@jackerhack I understand the copycat fatigue after Diaspora*. Many people didn't join mastodon or similar services for the same reason.

The difference here is mass adoption, coming with a mobile app at the right time when it became very easy to spin up an instance. Regarding recent exodus, this is because of birdsite stupidity. They definitely deserve this. 😆
