Back

I am a qualified disagree. There's a time and place to call out all the great services, protocols and software in the fediverse. That time and place are not the first 5 minutes someone has heard of the network. If people say "Mastodon", just say "Mastodon". And then help them along as the learn more.

I appreciate when people take the time to mention ActivityPub, but I would way rather have more people on the network.

When you get a chance, thank the hundreds of people who made this experience possible, and who are making it better every day.

And the people who made this network an incredible social environment.

But let's keep the party rolling and not trip over our own feet.

And feel free to correct my language and framing. I'm on side, happy to be taught.

I may or may not use your phrasing when talking to other people, but I'll listen and remember.
