Not Post, not Hive, not Gab—it's Mastodon.

And once a media narrative takes shape, that becomes the story.

@atomicpoet Momentum for now seems to be on its side imo. What's interesting to me is that if you go back to the format war that VHS won, momentum basically won that format as it became impossible to challenge VHS' foothold. This feels currently very much like a modern day format war and it's interesting to see the parallels.

@eathdemon @atomicpoet which is why I said for now. Could all change but that momentum is not without merit.
