This by @marcoarment nicely conveys why I'm feeling good about using Mastodon, had no desire to sign up for Hive, Post or any of the other Twitter clones now popping up, and why Twitter also feels icky in comparison.
@tuckerjj @marcoarment its hilarious to me watching the weekly evolution that the ATP crew has had about Mastodon. It seems like Marco finally “got it” this week.

UX/UI is everything, isn't it?

@usurper @tuckerjj @marcoarment it was more about the comments that anyone evaluating new social media options should look at it being open vs some VC funded mess.

Mastodon only has room to get better, but everyone else looks at it from it from how it can monetized. That’s the fundamental difference.
