So this piece doesn't mention Mastodon or the Fediverse but it does a nice job at outlining something I've been thinking about and something that, I think, is helping bring people to Mastodon
"The year we wanted the internet to be smaller" https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/28/16795090/internet-community-2017-post-mortem-tumblr-amino-drip-tinyletter
@schlink the verge even wrote about us before, why not even a mention? This is worrying me
@gargron I wouldn't sweat it much. If anything I'd say that Mastodon isn't as _obviously_ a "designed-to-be-small/cozy" network like TinyLetter is or even Tumblr was. Does that make sense? Maybe another selling angle for those looking to leave Twitter & Facebook though?
@schlink I guess I'm still upset about the ars technica non-mention. I want mastodon to be on the media's radar, to be taken seriously. They wrote about us in april but now they don't remember? weh
