Good morning.

Read. Assimilate. These are serious points to consider. All in all, the community here seems to mostly view people suggesting changes as probably silly, probably trying to make it "too twitter", but this is legit. This is stuff that stops Mastodon from welcoming people who could benefit from it's systems.

Seeing the themed instances popping up. I'm now on cybre.space, and I see that tenforward.social exists.

Hello, Octodonners. It looks like Alice's patreon in support of our chosen instance has plateaued. Please do what you can to help our friendly neighborhood cyberpunk queen, @CobaltVelvet

Donating is grand; boosting this, even, will be helpful, to get the message around.

Can people get a little better at boosting toots they like? Those of us on small instances who are looking for new content must basically discover new accounts through boosts from those we already follow.

Prediction: Mastodon will likely outlast Twitter.

Historically, decentralized, open-source platforms and protocols with any adoption run forever, even if they rarely reach the popularity or cultural relevance of centralized platforms.

It seems likely to me that when Twitter eventually shuts down, people will still be running Mastodon instances.

Did you know Diaspora has 328 active nodes and 17k users? Hell, there are 3,652 active FidoNet nodes, and that started in 1984!

So... am I wrong?

My favorite meme has never been so relevant as it is here on Mastodon.
