Lotta talk about replacing Twitter.

The better dialogue is how to get people to re-evaluate how they engage with the internet.

Personally, I'm convinced of two things:

- You can't 1:1 replace Twitter unless it's a similar top-down walled garden.

- Most people probably shouldn't want a Twitter replacement, since Twitter is bad for us.

Instead of finding/molding/creating a replacement, we should encourage people (and ourselves!) to focus on what they like most about internet interaction.

@chrisabides agee with this!
@jerry @chrisabides Yeah, it's best to be open minded about what Mastodon is at this stage and who you will meet. Thankfully it is not yet the rage-fest spam-haven that Twitter devolved into. On the other hand, twitter via tweetdeck will continue to be an important media-monitoring tool for me for the foreseeable future -- that's ok! - and doesn't detract from the Mastodon experience at all.
