Eugen RochkoThe fragmentation among friends that follows Twitter’s collapse is exactly the kind of problem that Mastodon and the social web solves for. Imagine that you don’t have to pick and choose which new platform to adopt, or make and maintain a million accounts—because you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on. That’s our reality.
*_jߍyrope@Eugen Rochko Our reality is slightly different, than you picture it. There is no Mastodon "and the social web." There is the Fediverse, where Mastodon isn't ashamed to promote it's own two biggest sites to users first, instead of showing diversity. Point is, that people, who didn't yet understand, what exactly happens on commercial social media, won't understand the difference, if you don't start to advertise it again. The former start pages recmmending a whole lot of servers to people were much more insightful in that regard. And people who didn't get it are now waiting for salvation on Bluesky ;)
#^https://fediverse.observer/ remains the best starting page there is, if flawed in other ways.
