This feels very 2009 in a lot of good, but also a lot of bad ways. Very exciting, very exhausting, a lot of room for UX improvements
@TQ I don't know… it feels a lot like early-days-app.net to me — that's where that thought came from. It's latter-days-app.net that had the problems, though, so who knows? Also app.net was a commercial operation, which makes all the difference in the world. In theory, twenty years down the line mastodon could be 200 old people spread over 150 instances, constantly ranting how it's so much nicer than facetwitter, and that would be fine with me. app.net couldn't do that, because money
@Ada Good thoughts. Thanks!
