I like Mastodon because -- it promises independence from bigco silos run by megalomaniac billionaires hell-bent on conquering everything. I just want to play with my friends. I'm into working together not world domination. Been there, done that, found it boring and lonely.
@davew It requires more effort though if you’re looking for serendipity. I’m ready to do that effort, but I’m hoping mastodon will be hospitable for interesting others who don’t have the time or skills or dedication for that effort. I want them here too. And to feel good here.
@davew I agree though I’m still jonesing for the somewhat comprehensive river of news style browsing need of mine that was met by Twitter. What say you as a pioneer of the concept?
@danielbrilliant @davew Get an RSS reader. Social media is not a news source. At least not a good one.
@davew @null Perhaps it isn’t a good one. But it certainly is one. And for an awful lot of people.

@davew It tends to be "locally boring" until you can hit a critical mass of interesting feeds and consistent posters.

Even following a couple bot accounts can help, but just be actively engaged in following anything that fits your fancy

@davew I share your sentiments, Dave. Hello
@davew It’s good to meet you all.   
@davew but what if you could it with your friends while having fun!

@dodoandthebrawn

heh -- i love that show.

i'm like a mix of both pinky and the brain.

i am of course going for world domination. i want the world to dominate the world, not a bunch of assholes.

@davew alright but any tips on dominating the world??
@davew Mastodon is more decentralized and open source
@davew world domination is all fun and games until james bond shows up with his pals
@davew
Through science, planning, and motivation, we can bring about a socialism where all can thrive without oppression.
@davew Good call sir! We gotta stop breaking, taking and faking s$#t and start making it.
@davew first day giving it look given all the nonsense happening with Twitter. The fact you can edit posts is a big plus.
