Not that this means anything at all, but I just surpassed 50% of the number of followers I had on Twitter over here. Yet, people keep trying to tell me on the other site that no one is here.

(And, yes, follower count is a silly thing, and does not actually matter, just noting the milestone).

And, again, the conversations I'm having here are so much better.

@mmasnick can I ask you if you have any thoughts on functionality like Spaces and how important it is to you?
Spaces seems like a great way to listen in and connect to useful conversations.

Over time, I seem to be using Mastodon more and more. The few threads that pull me back to Twitter are accounts that I follow but have not moved and also Spaces.

@RoboGorillaman @mmasnick I wish there was a good alternative, but being earnest about that wish would require contemplating going to clubhouse and I don't think anyone's up for that

@chancerydaily @RoboGorillaman I do find it funny that technically a16z now has a big investment in both of them.

Anyway, would be nice if there could be a fediverse version of spaces at some point...

@mmasnick @chancerydaily @RoboGorillaman

A16Z investing in a company where they don't have a securities fraud by proxy, err, cryptocurrency token business model? Has the world turned upside down?

@ncweaver @mmasnick @chancerydaily @RoboGorillaman to be fair, Marc Andreessen is personally invested in anything that’ll help focus more attention and narrative control onto people he likes.
