sarah jeonghi guys i'm hoping to write another piece about mastodon, a sort of wrap-up for my experiment a few weeks ago where i tried to replace twitter with masto.
i'd love to to interview a bunch of you guys? looking for old users and new users alike
Laura Ritchie 🌸@sarahjeong @katebowles @Tdorey @ShorterPearson Interesting on the back of the earlier conversation...
Chuck Pearson@lauraritchie @Tdorey @katebowles Something tells me a couple of us academics would be willing to share a word or three, @sarahjeong.
@ShorterPearson @sarahjeong @katebowles @Tdorey We've all been here since November... academics across several continents
Tanya **moved**@lauraritchie @katebowles @sarahjeong @ShorterPearson Certainly happy to chat... Hoping it's not time to mourn but to be reflective and appreciative of the origins of this space and to work to ensure they (tool bits & human communities) are honoured & supported on the path forward.
@Tdorey @ShorterPearson @sarahjeong @katebowles I agree. I'm not morning anything. Very glad to be here
Kate@lauraritchie @sarahjeong @ShorterPearson @Tdorey Same. I'm watching the changes thinking that all communities shift in this way. So we're getting to a point where mastodon the platform and mastodon the community have to part. One stabilises as the other changes.
The difference with Twitter is that it has a third dimension: Twitter the corporation. So when we say "Twitter does this or that", we might well mean the company.

@katebowles @Tdorey @sarahjeong @lauraritchie I'm honestly only now understanding how deeply the queer community needed and used the nature of Mastodon's platform and its disconnection from corporate structures. So I am starting to understand that level of disenchantment that comes from not having their place in the community acknowledged, even as I don't feel that disenchantment because Mastodon was far more quiet for me and if anything I'm avoiding that type of acknowledgement.
