Assorted 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):
๐Ÿ‘ 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!
๐Ÿ‘Ž Startup/venture folks are not here in large numbers. (Yes, @hunterwalk and @mgsiegler are present!) Overall the chicken/egg problem is not cracked for these folks.
