I don't think Mastodon or the fediverse has ever received this much attention before. It's a great opportunity for people to finally see that social media can be done differently, that it can be a protocol not under control of any single company.
@Gargron It feels different this time. Like people are finally realizing that they can currently just be bought and sold.
Like when Murdoch bought Myspace for half a billion dollars and then everyone just left.
