As a #mefite, fascinated to watch people from the community find each other to seed our networks. Patterns like this make sense; it's wonderful to know that I can find others, and it also bodes poorly for the future network diversity of the Mastodon network.
Early adopters are in the infosec, SV, and internet culture worlds, which are notoriously demographically skewed. I have great respect for those worlds, but but if those are the folks who accrue the earliest/greatest following & power, then we'll see many of the same old problems all over again.
@natematias Right?! These things always appear right when I don't need distractions! :)
Okay, time to get off mastodon and go back to actually writing my dissertation, which is about all of this 😂 #OneWeekMore
