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

@Ada yes... What are your thoughts on this new attempt, though? I myself didn't try out app.net, quitter etc.

@TQ also, if I didn't think this place might go somewhere I wouldn't be here. I hope it does. As you might've guessed, app.bet still hurts, though, so I'm not ready to get all excited.

@Ada Yes... I have also seen "alternatives" to twitter and facebook come and go. But the concept of is so different, I can't help it but think this finally might be it.

@TQ interesting. What about mastodon is it that makes you think that?

@Ada The more granular security and privacy settings for once, the option to register on a server with a moderation policy fitting to one's needs. This is absolute key in my eyes.

@TQ huh, I thought diaspora (which I skipped) had that? Either way, it's certainly a nice concept (esp coming from twitter et al). It seems to turn people off, too, because they feel like they need to pick the "right" instance. That's what I gather from my twitter timeline, anyway, and it's certainly a thing that delayed my signing up

@Ada Yeah. I read this a lot, too, that's why I wrote an article about it (in German).
Diaspora felt seriously buggy and lacked inspiration throughout. Also: Who needs another Facebook? The one we got right now is superfluous.
