Not a healthy situation! Don't get me wrong: the fine devs and folks running mastodon.social have done nothing wrong and I had some good times here, much better than in other places.

But as a former biologist, I believe in diversity is healthy for an ecosystem, and the same applies to communities. And the beauty of the fediverse is that I can move around and still follow you! 😊

Il fediverso non smette mai di divertire nel vedere quanta enfasi ci sia nel tifare un Fediverso super frammentato in micro-istanze e poi scoprire che tutto questo viene detto da una comoda istanza Mastodon che, guarda un po’, monopolizza il 70% del fediverso, accoglie il 99% dei nuovi iscritti su una sola istanza (mastodon.social da 3 mln di iscritti) e schiaccia qualsiasi alternativa. Quando si dice avere in mano la verità e aver capito tutto. :diggita: @[email protected] #fediverso #mastodon

@Helene Par contre, je garde le nom sous le coude: j'ai aussi pris l'habitude d'avoir des plans B pour une migration soudaine!

@Helene Merci très chère! Oh, mais je t'y vois déjà, je te suis depuis mastodon.top 😉

Oui, pour le moment j'ai un peu partagé par langue mes comptes... Cf skk.one

While I appreciate the Mastodon team's work on mastodon.social, I have concerns about its dominance in the Mastoverse. This centralization isn't ideal for the Fediverse. Others have articulated these issues better, and I might do so in the future. For now, I'm putting this account on hiatus and may eventually migrate to another instance.

See you on indieweb.social where I will go as @skk or elsewhere. You'll find me: I have friends everywhere.

@zeldman Ah yes. There's that small detail that bugged me. ⚽🏉
Obituary in NYTimes of computer giant Bill Atkinson: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/technology/bill-atkinson-dead.html We owe a lot to him and his skill and devotion.
Bill Atkinson, Who Made Computers Easier to Use, Is Dead at 74

A designer for Apple, he created software that made it possible to display shapes, images and text on the screen and present a simulated “desktop.”

@_elena Of course you can, of any of my profile. Looking forward to your new work, best wishes for it!
