Jeff JarvisWhat have we learned? Never again should we go to a social company that does not promise portability and interoperability, that does not federate with others, that is not sufficiently open-source to allow emergent innovation from users. This is a test.
Fabrice Neuman@jeffjarvis As far as I'm concerned, it's all moot if users don't join en masse. And I don't see that happening with Mastodon. It has to be as simple as possible for "real people", meaning aside from us nerds. And I already tried several times to explain what instances are to people I tech train. Let's say they were nonplussed. But, again, it might well be me being unable to explain it well enough.
@fabriceneuman I see lots of real people here. It's why I wrote this. https://medium.com/whither-news/on-joining-mastodon-d539eed5e41a
@jeffjarvis Thank you for this. It is very complete indeed. Fact is, I had started to talk about Twitter in the training sessions I do with seniors (they asked)… a month before Twitter was bought by you know who. For them, it was new. Darn! I may have to start again from scratch 😉
@jeffjarvis *corrected "train sessions" to "training sessions"
