AnilThis is good, but also highlights the need for a fediverse brand/icon that’s not Mastodon, as the platforms that succeed for big organizations may well not actually be Mastodon. https://mastodon.social/@drewharwell/109553083544613990 (Unless the ship has already sailed and it’s too late to rebrand the concept.)

@developerjustin and this is also why substack has brainwashed their users into calling their EMAIL NEWSLETTERS “Substacks”. This is a medium that existed for *decades* and they’re hijacking it.
