#RIPTwitter - Well it's not dead yet...
However I'm less interested in the life/death of Twitter and much more interested in the surge on Mastodon...
...and the potential of the whole fediverse going forward. Not only is there a different sense of community here, but also there's a lot of opportunity to innovate on our own terms -- and THAT feels like a lot of fun to me.
@mikegalsworthy Hey Mike, I’m coming from Twitter and still like confused on the whole “Fediverse” thing.
Though am excited about being on Mastodon.
Many new people think Mastodon is too complicated. I think that's in part because some of its jargon is obscure. "Server" = site "Instance" = site "Federation" = network "Fediverse" = network (fancier term) "Defederate" = block (a site) "Toot" = post "Boost" = repost The "Fediverse" is a bunch of websites, running various software, talking to each other using a common protocol – as with email. Much "complexity" can be fixed by speaking plain English. #Mastodon #accessibility #PlainEnglish
