We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard https://twitter.com/FriendlyNetMan/status/1590086916795686912
@tehjessica Also, if you check out an account on from an instance different than yours while on YOUR server, and there are few posts to see, click on their avatar or name to see them on THEIR server.
In most cases, this will work w/o you needing an acct on their server/instance.
Try it with my acct and tell me how it goes.
@robinsonmeyer Definitely post, but decide each time whether to go public or unlisted.

@AndySocial He is definitely "finding out".
@tehjessica That's why, same instance.

I’ve been using Mastodon since Saturday, but I am going out on a limb with a prediction: Mastodon (or the Mastodon model) is the future of social media.
It has the potential of curing the worst evils of social media and creating a genuine and workable public sphere.
I will develop this idea into an essay as soon as I can grab the time, hopefully today.

I'm working on fleshing out these ideas.

Some people think Mastodon is too weird to become popular:
I joined Twitter in 2008. We had to put a "d" in front of a tweet to convert it to a direct message and every other day you had some embarrassing private moments exposed because someone forgot about the “d”. Hashtags were just a community hack, introduced by Chris Messina to somehow tag content. Search? Hah, you wish! Tweets via SMS were supposed to be a thing. Oh, and the daily meet and greet with the failwhale. Totally not weird.
#Mastodon is different, and it will stay that way.

To explain how different Mastodon is from every other social network I point to the story of FedSearch.
#Mastodon has an intentionally limited search engine that only works with hashtags and usernames. Someone built a service to offer full-text search called FedSearch.

Everyone's like Mastodon versus Twitter but it's not either-or, and I'm finding value in having both. For example, there is a vibrant community on Twitter dedicated to complaining about Mastodon, and a vibrant community on Mastodon dedicated to complaining on Twitter.
Trump and Elon never had anyone counter their will throughout their lives, except their Dads, whom they feel they have surpassed.

@briannawu I have to say that I'm really enjoying the new ad-free experience on Twitter since hardly anyone seems to be promoting posts anymore.

@briannawu I half wonder if it’s even that. It increasingly strikes me that he just wants to set fire to Twitter, as some kind of ‘own the libs’ victory in his own mind. What’s the worst that could happen for him, personally? He’ll still be a multi-billionaire regardless.
Good use of an ugly rug to create illusion.

Have you mentioned this to your admin, (astrodon.social/@sebinthestars)?

Okay... There seems to be a glut of #FiredTwitterEmployees and #FiredMetaEmployees looking for jobs just as the great #TwitterMigration is happening. Perfect time for #Mastodon and other
#Fediverse servers to grow.
Fast growing body of work, and social scientists are insecure about validation.
