Notice something interesting from this Wired article?

Media is already branding Mastodon as "Twitter's most popular alternative".

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

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

@atomicpoet I joined Mastodon then Post. So far Mastodon feels more like Twitter in a good way, but I have many more followers on Post. Here I still feel like I’m boosting and tooting largely to myself. Long term Mastodon seems the better technology

@atomicpoet on both so far it seems to be people posting stuff and following each other to find their tribes. Most interaction has been about how to use the platforms, though that is starting to change. One person here let me know my profile was locked which explained the limited reaction so I’ve changed that. Also need to adapt to no algorithms and use hashtags.
