I’m anxious but hopeful for this. I’ve left Twitter and enjoy Mastodon. I’d hate to see Meta destroy it, intentionally or not.
I want to believe federated systems can work even with extreme asymmetries in participants. I think if federated systems can’t, they’re forever doomed to obscurity.
Don’t get me wrong: obscurity has its benefits. Mastodon feels a lot like 2010 Twitter, and I love that. However I’d also love for federated systems to work for mainstream audiences.
