I say keep the flow coming, because the good shit eventually floats to the top.

The more people here, the more attractive it becomes to bigger-names, which will then bring their audience over.

how did you make it to Fediverse-B without knowing about Fediverse-A?

Well, the destruction of Twitter AND Reddit, especially so close to each other, is leaving a hole in my heart.

The magic of the “fediverse” can be both a bandaid and a fix.

A shiny, new replacement (Mastodon and Lemmy) for me to fall back on for comfort, and a new paradigm of social interaction (Fediverse) that will hopefully offer long-term immunity from assholes that want to destroy everything.

The more people on the Fediverse, the better it can become for everyone.

I thought Threads joining the fediverse was a GOOD thing, and even the Mastodon Org seems cool with this. More users = better.

Wanting to block Threads does nothing to Meta, and only hurts users. It would be like blocking all email from Gmail because you know they read your messages to generate targeted ads. You wouldn’t be teaching Google a lesson, just hindering interoperability between people.

If anyone else reading this thread, I could go for a Bluesky invite.

I’ve had a Mastodon account for a while, and a Twitter account since 2008. I could always go for more social sites, though.
