This platform—#Mastodon—still lacks what I liked about Twitter all these years: enlarging my horizon beyond the usual suspects:

Follow a politician from Malaysia and a journalist from Zimbabwe alongside the IMF Managing Director. Learn about an earthquake in Mongolia from someone on the ground after a comment on Belgian party politics. Communicate with an activist in India and a bureaucrat in Palestine.

I think any modern platform should make accessible—and amply—voices we usually don't hear.

@ronpatz Give Mastodon half a chance. It has <9 million users, though growing rapidly. The bird site has ~400 million. It's going to take time for Mastodon to attract the scale and breath of user that the bird site has been building for years.
