@hart I wish the local right wing party would have such an easily defaceable signs.

I had a slight chuckle reading about Mastodon, as some random blogger announced that it's slowly dying out. Their backing for this claim was a list of Mastodon instances that had since stopped existing.

With that mentality I'd say the web is dead too, I know plenty of sites that have died out. If you ask a young person, they know there's Facebook, Google and Microsoft on the web and you you can access them all with a bookmark.

Personally I've been following Mastodon for a while now even when I wasn't here yet. As I suspected, it or some other Fediverse service might be the torchbearer for the moment when people are just so disgusted with commercial social media, that they just want to look for an out.

Looking at people's introductions, I can't help noticing how many people of my age are now joining here. People from maybe BBS ages or from the early web age when it wasn't shit yet. People, who know proper content and genuine co-operation and sharing of interests is possible without SEO'ing and engagement optimising it all into hell.

I truly hope #mastodon and the rest of Fediverse will make it.
