I hate to beat a suffering horse, but it's important for you bleeding edgers to remind pioneers that this new digital frontier is the #Fediverse, not #Mastodon.
Mastodon is the currently popular covered wagon you can drive, but there are others already, and now that the #Fediverse is reaching a take-off point (courtesy of Musk and @Gargron's hard work), there will be many more to come. Mastodon is sure to be competitive with them. (Competition can be pivotal, and something Birdsite never had.)

@shoq Iā€™d love to know more about the other Fediverse options aside from Mastodon (not that Iā€™m not enjoying my time thus far). Can you recommend a good article or primer for this? Is hitting up the Wikipedia page sufficient?

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?Check...

@shoq @Gargron

Nutritionists will tell you to rely on a balanced diet rather than any single nutrition source.

Our online existences are much the same, I think.

Mastodon is very good at what it sets out to do but it is also limited in (and by) what it sets out to do.

The Fediverse, as a whole, has begun -- but only just -- to feel out what it takes to provide us with three balanced meals a day.

@shoq oh hey, I just saw you chatting in the matrix element room!

@Nikokin That was me. Element.io is the chat tech of the future, but they sure need more UX people before it's ever going to be popular with average folk.

@shoq I agree, it still needs a couple more years to fully mature on the (E2EE) UX front. At least they are running user testing groups for major new features (which I think has slowed down development too, but for a good reason)
