It's going to be impossible to replace the birdsite, and that's probably a good thing. Instead, we get to choose which communities we want to be part of, and we can control what content we're exposed to. In some ways this new place is already more valuable than the old one.

Now we're watching the flood of new folks show up in the local feed, and the instance continues to be snappy as hell. So thanks, @nova, for letting us all hang out here.

@zack @nova it's not impossible. Mastodon is just like Twitter prior to 2016, but better (no algorithms or promoted accounts). People were already using Twitter before it introduced the algorithm and promoted accounts/tweets.

@aristeon Sure, and that's a very good point. But I would argue Twitter was always going to turn into something driven by money and "engagement" regardless of the quality of discourse. That's the part I don't believe will be reproduced here.
