I remember many moons ago, when Twitter first started, my friends(@bigdogbo and @79stanger) from BBM and G+ joined up. It was such a great and fun place. Combined with Vine I followed wars and conflict through the eyes of those oppressed. World events in real time. Twitter was also a tech person's best friend. So many nerds on the platform early on.
Twitter has now gone to shit. Just proves that one owner platforms are under control of a company and they will eventually control what you see and what you post.
Along comes Mastodon, all the same feelings, all the freedom to read and follow and toot what you want. Even own my own instance. It's amazing! You can nerd out on tech, follow real world events as they happen, laugh at some raunchy memes, art, dogs, cats, photography, food, etc. The fediverse is open to all and it's the future, which is now.
I'm amazed everyday when I open my feed and see the amazing toots from the people, hashtags that I follow. I boost a lot of toots so others don't feel like they are tooting into the void.
If you haven't joined Mastodon, you are missing out. My instance is open to join. Or find one that suits you. If it doesn't suit you, simply change to another instance and take your follow list with you. Don't get discouraged, give it a real effort. It's awesome!
Thank you for your time
