I keep forgetting Mastodon exists, but Micro.blog became a part of my world quickly.
I'm not quite sure why, yet, but I think the UX simplicity is part of it.
But Micro.blog didn't stick for long. Sat in a limbo between the community feel of Slacks and the global town square of Twitter.
It's a shame because I am more drawn to the indieweb tie-ins than the fediverse.

Ironic: I don't know where to have a discussion about this new discussion platform.
I'm wondering about "private" instances (for work, replacing some of what Slack does) and how they will participate in the federation.
@KitRedgrave I pay for Slack at work with two reasons: offloaded support effort (I am the IT dept and have no time to be) and clients that are familiar with it/can add one more team.
So I'm a good paying customer, even though I resent the "innovation" smell on web-based IRC and think the UI is a mess.
