Sad to see that has finally faded away (as a Mastodon instance). (Initially known as ) was one of a number of ‘Twitter clones’ that stepped up as Twitter seemingly imploded (regrettably, as , it seems to have somewhat survived). T2/Pebble was, in my experience, at least, one of those magical little places where the right people gathered, at the right time, and wrangled a tool into a place to have fun and to share Wonderful Things with each other. Farewell .

@cloudhopper I second that. T2/Pebble was magical, and there is nothing quite the same to take its place.

@gladsdotter Yup. But not magical enough for the millions. Which made it more magical to me <g>

@cloudhopper Fare thee well - t'was a grand experiment from whence I stumbled upon your good self making it worthwhile in itself. There are an additional handful (inc. @gladsdotter) with whom I remain in touch, but, as you said “not magical enough for the millions” which likewise sold it to me as something truly special.

@M4x @barrd @gladsdotter Yeah, no but thank you. You’re talking about a device. We’re talking about a microblogging social platform.

@cloudhopper Wow, so truly is gone for good, huh? It was nice while it lasted and glad I got to make lasting connections with some of you on here and on BlueSky
