A lot of us moved our blogging to places like Twitter, because it was convenient and easier to be seen.

If this meltdown leads people to going back to their blogs, or at least learning the essential downside of centralization, that will be a positive outcome.

@dangillmor some of us never left our blogs!
@mmasnick @dangillmor @digby @Atrios and I sidle up to the old people's bar for a talk about how we had to walk up hill through the snow both ways.
@emptywheel @mmasnick @dangillmor @digby @Atrios First they called it microblogging... and then they damn well took over the place, darn' it!
@emptywheel @mmasnick @dangillmor @digby @Atrios I would personally like to thank you for this geezer toot/tweet/whatever, because I never otherwise would have known that Digby and Atrios were on Mastodon due to the fact Mastodon's search function is effectively useless.
@bmaz @emptywheel @mmasnick @dangillmor @digby @Atrios Any empty stools left at the bar for one more geezer?
