I have been on Mastodon since 2017. I would love to see it “take off”, but I am not optimistic. Left and right wing political hacks run many of the instances, and the minute they see a “toot” they don’t like, they block the instance of origination. Thus, you wind up in isolated echo chambers based on politics.

To reach the masses you have to have accounts on left wing and right wing servers, which involves too much time and effort. You can disagree with someone and not hate/block them, you know

“Hi James! We are huge fans! We are traveling in our camper and are currently staying near Cotulla, TX. We had this large piece of hail bust through our skylight around 2am this morning. Biggest hail we’ve ever seen in person and wanted to share”

Never a good thing to be in the “Day 7” SPC severe weather outlook bullseye…
So, everyone is getting on Mastodon, Facebag, and the Gram to let others know the Tweeter is down…
