Hello! What do you think is needed to make Mastodon take off?

@ekansa @inkdroid

Mastodon has over a million users despite not being backed by a corporation or Sillycon Valley fatcats.

WE'RE DOING FINE.

I agree. I just want more of my friends here where it's nice and commercial surveillance and Nazis don't ruin everything.

@ekansa I wonder if it might make sense to create a small mastodon home for digital preservation folks? My local timeline on mastodon.social is pretty hit or miss. I know it has been tried before (digpres.club) see convo here https://twitter.com/beet_keeper/status/919339303234183168

There are so many quirky little instances. For example I recently ran across wandering.shop which is for scifi fans -- I like their desription of the local timeline they want to have https://wandering.shop/about/more

@ekansa The goal wouldn't be to get as many users as possible, but just to get a small group of like minded folks together who benefit from sharing ideas.

Of course thinking along these lines led to absent minded dns lookups. The best I could come up with was memex.social 🤨
