I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."

That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?

Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.

THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.

I don't understand why there isn't an alternative version of Twitter that is as easy to use. The MAGA crowd managed to do this multiple times. But something with the complexity of Mastodon, Discord, etc. won't have mass appeal.
