Kept having this vague sense of deja vu these past two days seeing what’s happening with Mastodon, and it just hit me: Ello. Anyone else remember that?

Five or six years ago Twitter came down hard on drag queens for not using their real names, and a bunch of them left and adopted Ello. The news went viral and over a few days millions of new uses piled into Ello as a possible Twitter alternative. (Cont. in reply)
