When Threads joined the Fediverse, was the number higher or lower?
There is a difference between bringing a community with me and it growing organically. Of course, in the former case, it is quite high.
That is not relevant.
Looks like #TheForkiverse is a real Mastodon instance.
Was started by a couple of podcasters, you can check out the details here: https://pjvogt.substack.com/p/the-fediverse-experiment
Let's say hi to our new friends! =)
try to build their own small alternative social media.
Oh, wow!
I would simply say: they have installed Mastodon.
@visionaire @evdelen @tchambers
if you think “building social media alternatives” is necessarily about building communities and not just a piece of software, their terminology seems entirely appropriate
They're trying to make this more accessible for people who aren't techies, I say we should be generous about the language used.
If efforts like these get people out of walled gardens and onto the public, free internet then what's not to celebrate?
