The silver lining to the #TwitterMigration: maybe this will result in more funding, more people willing to develop the Fediverse to its full potential. As I keep telling you, there's more to this endeavour than being a Twitter replacement! We have the chance to entirely re-make the Internet!

    If you're new, I strongly urge you to migrate to a small instance. It's likely to perform better than the larger instances and have better moderation.

    @atomicpoet@mastodon.social more than funding, hopefully more of the coders that FOSS relies on to do Great Things

    @atomicpoet@mastodon.social I'm really enjoying the social space in the Fediverse (& in the embargoed Cuba-of- the-Fediverse, Counter.Social, which has a *great* vibe). But I've yet to find one of the things I *love* about Twitter: the local person sharing breaking news. It seemed no matter what, where, I could find a someone there, tweeting real life info in real time. Charlie Hebdo, Notre Dame, Hong Kong, G8 Summit, Tonga's volcano, whatever. Does that exist in Masto? If so, how do I find it? #findnews?

  • @atomicpoet@mastodon.social Yes I am new here and kind of wish I wasn't new, but there you go. As I get to understand this place I can see the huge potential here, to democratise the net.

    @atomicpoet@mastodon.social the internet is really the hardware and protocols of machine communication, but how thats built on top of certainly matters! Federated systems have a lot of ways to mature, but something that can’t be bought by a billionaire is a great start!

    @atomicpoet@mastodon.social ain't that always the way - potentially superior alternatives toil in obscurity until suddenly they're needed and save the day for people previously not paying attention to them

    @atomicpoet@mastodon.social Yes. We need a big vision. I run a 501(c)(3) non-profit and would be very interested to be part of a project that builds an endowment that supports independent #journalism projects in the #Fediverse that follow the best practices of ethical reporting. Everywhere.

    @atomicpoet@mastodon.social … for those who’ve missed your previous tellings, is there a good thread/article that would help catch one up on the subject (Re: Fediverse full potential, or even “wth is Fediverse?”)
