We're all just neurons here.

As a software engineer, here is my take of the moment:

There is no monolithic successor to Twitter. We don't want one, even a good one, because enlightened monarchs are followed by corrupt Elons.

Mastodon is not and may never be ready for prime time, but the fediverse might be.

The first thing newbies need to learn is how to spell "Mastodon".

Two O's, people. It's not "Mastadon".

This holiday season Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, & Facebook fires 11K workers—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳

A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers. Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.

Whoa, just stumbled onto "Federated timeline" – toots sweet!

Mastodon

Found it.

On this page, some interesting charts showing the recent #Mastodon spike, and a complete (?) roster of federated Mastodon servers.

The Federation - a statistics hub

Node list and statistics for The Federation and Fediverse

Can someone point me to a list of all, or most, of the federated Mastodon servers?

This site only lists a few: https://joinmastodon.org/servers

Servers

Find where to sign up for the decentralized social network Mastodon.

Now instead of spending my day doomscrolling, looking for interesting stuff to riff on on #Twitter…I'm juggling counter.social and three #Mastodon instances…and still on Twitter.

Not an improvement?

Apologies to all, but…

Bird brains, Elon is running a poll on Twitter about whether to reinstate Trump there. Voting might actually make a difference. So vote, and please retoot this!
