@arossp @jeffjarvis I don’t say this to be mean, but if your biggest problem with all this is that people aren’t using the tools the way you wosh they would, you’re as clueless to what made Twitter great as Musk still is.

It’s people - & that will remain so for whatever comes next.

If people are finding their communities wherever, that’s great. Most aren’t thinking about open/closed/propritary, etc.

That said…

@arossp @jeffjarvis Mastodon, like all short socials, has its own issues.

And some of the biggest issues remain people.

Even with tech that allows federation, the communities that are developing on different platforms now won’t interact in the same way as they did on pre-Elon Twitter.

Whch means none of them will be quite as diverse or successful as before…
