Michael_SpencerIsn't it, the entire failure of social networks that bring us to a new one? Or is it just idle curiosity.
How did you find out about this place? #Mastodondiscovery
Pseudomichael 🍺@Michael_Spencer I've been yearning for an alternative to ad-tech, data-harvesting centralized networks for a long time, but the network effect makes it hard to leave FB/Twitter.
I used to run a podcast called Flipping Tables and one episode we spent a whole hour fantasizing about something like Mastodon (not just OSocial).
The second I became aware of Mastodon, I was like "SOMEONE DID IT!" and joined immediately.
In short: shit was broken I just didn't know I had an option!
@pseudomichael That's deep Michael, yes I know what you mean. FB/Twitter and even for me LinkedIn are like necessary evils at times. How old is this place anyhow?
