@pallenberg I’ve been relatively new to Mastadon but what I can tell you is there’s still negativity- but just pointed in one direction: Elon Musk and twitter. I do agree however, there’s less hatred, noise and it does give you a warm fuzzy feeling of interacting with new people (I probably wouldn’t have responded to this on twitter for example). I hope that this platform continues to grow and receive recognition. The decentralization of it alone makes me personally feel more secure…I just wish more would realize the importance of that and migrate over. Social media platforms are hard because not only do you need to move but all of your followers.

@ivory I finally got in!

@ristotreksler what are the benefits of being on one server vs another #imnewhere

@PadreSJ new social media platforms are certainly an endeavor. While having privacy, decentralization are all a good start…at the end of the day, content, subscribers are key to the growth and success. Not only do you have to move - but you have to hope everyone else follows….and to the same place! Hopefully one of my old time favorites in Field of Dreams will be an inspiration - if you build it he (they) will come.
