Gabe RiveraAssorted thoughts on Mastodon and the Fediverse. (Thought I'd offer them up here for people to tell me I'm wrong before recycling them on T*itter):
👍 Some "communities" are rather well-represented here. Some unsurprising tech crowds present in large numbers: future-of-web types, people into open source and open standards, and industry-skeptic/social-justicey folks. The infosec crowd is fairly-well-represented here too. And as I said before, basically every notable blogger from the year 2005 is here!
Jari Pennanen@gaberivera As others have noted, OG Twitter community is here:

And a significant portion seems to have rebuilt their social graph. Which is more important than having an account.

a decade of people blabbering "twitter is dead seriously 4real im quitting" has probably made me immune to the talk... but the og twitter community on mastodon might have me convinced that the broken clock might be right this time? (also the fact that the protocol is classic oss crunky duct tape probably means it's inevitable that this is what the world is going to foist on generations of programmers)
