First the queers and furries build a space where they can be themselves.

Then the infosec folks find that it fits well with their values.

Then the communists flock to the first real alternative to capitalist monopoly on shortform burst communication.

Then the artists come to find new walls to paint and nobody to tell them no.

The intellectuals, the chroniclers, the priests and the prophets, singly and in droves.

Slowly, it builds. It's neat to build an oral history from inception. #mastodon

@mykola And then society completely falls apart because we all forget how to live together.
@cc how do you mean?
@mykola Just worried if we all separare into our little groups, then confirmation bias will lead to everyone becoming more closed-minded. Maybe people are smart enough to remain open minded, but it could happen.

@cc nope, that's a bad argument. Mastodon isn't the world, it's a place for people to feel comfortable and have fun on the internet.

Nothing is gained by forcing people to listen to people who don't respect them tell them why. That's what reality is for.

@mykola We all have different perspectives. I can respect that you have a different opinion and will try to learn from it.
