@Gargron in the YouTube / disgruntled ex-twitter circles, I see a lot of misunderstandings around the concept of servers. I have heard a lot of high profile people say that servers are isolated from each other, causing them (and their followers) to not give Mastodon a shot. Maybe we suck at advertising 🙂
