Mastodawn

Fraser Cain Aug 4, 2023

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's not completely, like any distributed service some part can be ruined by a company. For example if everyone is using mastodon or a specific server and they turn evil most people won't switch to another fediverse service and mastodon or a server will have as much power as established social media. We have to be vigilant but it's much better than before
