I think the shift by the general public to Mastodon may be historically significant beyond just social media because it's a shift away from centralization and back towards distributed services. I'm hoping this trend continues in general for Internet services.
@climagic I looked at federated stuff a couple years ago, thinking early diaspora or something that predated it. I've had a mastodon account at SDF for a few years, but didn't really mess with it very much. Tonight I spun up my own mastodon instance to see what that is like, if things go well, and storage doesn't get to be nuts, I'll probably host some friends on it as well.
