Fuckin’ A!
This is a great start. I think a first goal should not be to replace big tech, but the create thriving alternatives. You should not have to feel that you are missing out by not using facebook, twitter, instagram, reddit etc. And with Mastodon/Lemmy/kbin we are getting there even if it is very very early still.
I got rid of Twitter back in November when shtf a bit. I have had some fantastic conversations on Mastodon, and I expect to have some fantastic conversations here, as well!
Right? I can post something on Mastodon and get real people responding on the regular. Never had that on Twitter. It’s like posting to ChatGPT, but responses are slower and by actual people.
The regular responses from real people! I love it. I’ve made some extensive-ish posts over there and have had people actually ask me questions and we’ve had some good back and forth.
It doesn’t need to provide value to everyone. That would be nice, but I don’t mind it just being a smaller amount of enthusiasts. I’ve been having some really good discussions here lately. That’s the value I see at least.
They are different platforms with different techs in both frontend and backend, but they can still talk to each other. Neat, right?
Hey JSYK I loved you in that clown killer movie. You really tied the room together
