When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people who’ve been quietly doing this work for years (decades!) ended up being the ones who welcomed everyone over, as always.
@anildash What I find especially encouraging is that you don't have to be suspicious of the motives of anyone promoting Mastodon (or the fediverse more generally), there isn't some scammy token to pump and dump. It's refreshing.
@PeterR @anildash folks, if you didn't know about the mastodon pump and dump, you weren't here for the wound cube
