Mastodon server at SDF |

I am not really keen on mainstream social networks. However, my |
|
curiosity led me some years ago to sign up for facebook (I deleted my |
|
account after a couple of weeks) and I also got a twitter account |
|
(that I never used at all). I bet there is nothing wrong in trying |
|
things to see if you like them or not. |
|
|
|
Sometimes, from a selfish point of view, it is good to sign up to |
|
prevent someone else from stealing your username. I remember that |
|
several years ago, I would have traded almost anything to get a |
|
[email protected] for personal reasons, however, it was already taken. I |
|
arrived too late! Nevermind. I do not want it anymore. |
|
|
|
When this crazy migration to mastodon began (users moving from |
|
twitter to mastodon) I thought: "Oh my! People are so stupid." But |
|
well, thinking it twice I recall that many of us moved to libera irc |
|
in a similar way after freenode was purchased by a single individual. |
|
And I do not have any data here but I bet that libera is growing |
|
bigger and bigger while freenode is not really hitting big numbers. |
|
At least that is my perception. Your milleage may vary. |
|
|
|
All this going round in circles is to say that I got a mastodon |
|
account on the sdf server yesterday. I have not posted anything yet, |
|
but at least I can say that I didn't flee away from twitter. Not |
|
strictly speaking at least. |
|
|
|
And who knows? I may not intend to post anything, but maybe I get |
|
hooked on it and start posting everyday. |
|
|
|
It is a commonplace but only time will tell. |
