I've just got to say how happy I am with the Mastodon community, especially all the science/space people that I'm following. This place is the clear winner after the social media meltdown, despite its outstanding issues and missing features.

What makes me even more excited is that it's open and unmonetized, so it's completely immune to shareholder demands or the whim of a billionaire.

Don't worry if your friends aren't here yet, we're your new friends.

@fraser It really is wonderful that you're here, Fraser. For me you're one of Mastodon's superstars, and I'm glad you're receiving enough interest here to keep you posting.

@bodhipaksa It's way beyond enough interest. I'm more hopeful about what Mastodon will become because it's unconstrained by corporate interests.

@fraser Yes, that is one of the exciting things for me about this place. I'm very happy to have set up a recurring payment to my host; it makes this feel more like home.

@bodhipaksa That's smart. I hope we get to a place where every person can run their own server easily if they want to.
