I had never imagined such a thing happening on the bird site, a couple of months ago. But all the events that happened during past few weeks points to the importance of decentralized platforms like Mastodon during the internet age. All the best to Mastodon and Fediverse.

I also hope so. But Twitter is coming up with another protocol called the Bluesky which is not related to ActivityPub.

@finickydesert I like to think we would try, but it's mostly a @Michael Vogel question, he's been taking point on protocol support.

Well, do you think that there is any team member left on Twitter for "Bluesky"?

@Michael Vogel@finickydesert Fair point, I was wondering about SOLID protocol support as well?

wondering if Mastodon pushes any ideology or it’s free for all in the true sense? I’m new here and looking for a sincere take on this.

@Yemi Ifegbuyi@Mastodon Yes, it pushes the ideology that social media is better when it isn’t proprietary. What are you worried about?
