so many people talking about mastodon as a twitter replacement, jumping ship from twitter and hopping over here. in my view, this is a whole different thing, and it SHOULD be. trying to use mastodon to recreate the twitter experience is a shortsighted, but understandable as it’s what we’re used to.

twitter sucked long before elon took it over. from what i can tell, we have the opportunity here to foster a social platform that sucks a lot less. i’m (cautiously) optimistic about it?
