Still definitely a work in progress but it’s great so far.

    This whole thing takes me right back to wild west internet days, or the first steps for Blockchain.

    It’s exciting to see what the community decides is best, and I’m looking forward to seeing if this takes off or at least becomes as natural to me (and others) as R*ddit was.

    A lot of things I need to learn and un-learn.

    Thanks for your insight - small comments like this are really helping me get my bearings here. 💚

      It is a lot like the origin of the www where much of the best content were personal web sites. The technology got so complex that running your own website wasn’t very practical for most people anymore and so they moved to platforms like Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. I think we are at a point where enough people are starting to realize that having all content controlled by a for-profit company ends up being very bad for users and the fediverse is about building tools that allow individuals and communities to take back control of their own content.

        Well I’ll definitely raise a glass to a new tomorrow! And here’s hoping this is a first step in getting us out from under the thrall of for-profit organisations more broadly
