I'm writing an article about this glorious, weird weekend on Mastodon during the nascent Twitter exodus.
My theory is that Mastodon's shortcomings are the very reason it's working. We're having to help each other find our way. No one is boss, and the kinda crappy experience brings us all to the same level as co-newbies (not to belittle those who have been on Mastodon for years).
Are you feeling the same? I'd love to hear your opinions. #NZTwits #twittermigration #introduction #mastodon
@aotearoa_ben my theory is that the slight jankiness and lack of streamlining that you'd find in a commercial product helps to keep away some pretty bad influences.
Then again with this exodus of users (myself included, I'm new here as well) we might be encountering an Eternal September kind of situation.
