@kate Mine was the admin who DID have a meltdown.

12 hours later, I was already migrated to a new instance with a friendly community, better post length, and had kept every account I was following.

Far from being "not viable", this fucking feels like the FUTURE man.

Like, imagine being able to jump from Elon's Twitter to a Smaller Better Twitter with features you've been requesting from Elon's Twitter since you'd joined it. You don't need to go refollow anyone, because you're still following them, and anyone following YOU just had to click a single button to keep that going. And nothing Elon did on Elon's Twitter affected your newfound Smaller Better Twitter.

That's what Mastodon just enabled me to do.

All hail the Fediverse!
