The best thing about Mastodon right now is the incredibly indie slant to the creators who've migrated here. Queer folks, folks of color, and women creating and telling their own stories in a space unencumbered by industry gatekeeping sentiments? This is great.
@Trungles I was thinking about something related to this from another angle yesterday - wondering when news and pop culture sites would go all-in on Mastodon. Like that might be great in terms of making it a real Twitter alternative. But it would def change the current real-human-beings-talking vibe the site has now.
@gregpak yeah that would definitely change the landscape a bit. I wonder if the self-selection and more casual walking-down-the-street vibe of a local timeline versus the more intimate home timeline would affect that in any way.
