Savor it folks, this is what it's like to witness the birth of a new social network
*shitposting everywhere, servers keep crashing, everyone's a furry*
and it's just as beautiful as a human birth
@nolan you think this is the critical mass for mastodon to finally be considered 'birthed'? It's been around for a while, at what user count/activity is it considered real social media :o
@lolkat Eugen just closed registrations to mastodon.social, so seems we're at some kind of peak
@nolan I mean I think it's a very wise stop gap that VC-backed social media companies don't have the luxury (or desire) to do. Gives me hope for this platform and looking forward to witness the community and culture that it spawns. I wonder if rather than a birthing of a social media platform it's a birthing of a new style of platform?
