Blue Skies Over Mastodon - Lemmy

Written by @[email protected]

Good post. On the other hand, IMHO (as a non-Fedi-expert I should say), I think the Fediverse does not absolutely need to appeal to everyone. A lot of people are happy with Twitter, and a lot of people are happy with Facebook. Evolving Mastodon into a clone of Twitter is perhaps missing the point of building a different platform in the first place. Not to say there's no place for new ideas or criticism of course...

I agree. I hate Twitter but really enjoy Mastodon, because of the people and content it draws (at least what I see).

I want the Fediverse to walk a fine line between providing a platform that interests a niche group without gatekeeping and which sustains enough interest to sustain itself.
