    Gotta admit, the Fediverse is looking pretty sweet. A surprise, to be sure! But a welcome one.

      Mastodon really helped get people acquainted with the Fediverse after the whole Twitter shitshow. My sincere hope is that the Fediverse continues to take off. Corporate-owned social media is failing at every turn.

        I’m having more iterations and more interesting ones in Mastodon that I had in twitter during the last few years.

        Mastodon reminds me of the early days of twitter, which is amazing.

          I know! I was on Twitter in the early days and it was such a better place than it ended up being. And in the last few months it’s become pretty much unusable for me. I’ve had more interaction on Mastodon than I had on Twitter in years. Hoping the federated nature of Mastodon maintains it as a community. Meta sniffing around makes me think that we’re really onto something and I hope Mastodon and the Fediverse can stay what it is now. I know growth may change things, but I hope the general ethos and concept remain the same.

        My biggest lack of understanding is still regarding access: So, if I choose to access the Fediverse via Mastodon, can I still subscribe to Kbin and Lemmy “subs”?

        I love the federated nature of all of this, I just wish it was slightly easier to put into a metaphor. I’ve seen some graphic charts that try, but it’s still a bit confusing. I’m on KBin and I like it a lot, but I have no way of knowing if I’m missing a ton of content or not!
