holy shit you guys are really using this thing!!!

[mike@thecanadian.social]

@kevin Along with a few million others.

[firefly@m.ai6yr.org]

@kevin We are not as many in number but we are mighty. And we engage.

[bearshark@theforkiverse.com]

@kevin trying. Can it keep us longer than threads?!

[cultdev@mastodon.social]

@kevin what is it

[paige@masto.canadiancivil.com]

@Bearshark @kevin most of us have been here for quite a long time.
A wave arrives, after a month 90% of people leave, but the 10% that it works for stay and the population grows.

[bearshark@theforkiverse.com]

@paige @kevin, being that I am half shark, I am confident I will be in the 10% that can continue to ride the wave.

[kb9ens@mastodon.radio]

@firefly @kevin Make it so

[firefly@m.ai6yr.org]

@kb9ens @kevin how appropriate for the Fediverse

[mcduncanlab@mstdn.social]

@kevin

Nope nothing here except bots and echo chambers.

[alwirtes@indieweb.social]

@kevin Don’t be fooled by those billionaire-owned social media sites that are just a bunch of bots and fake accounts driving ad views. #Mastodon is people. Real people.

[ansible42@social.ridetrans.it]

@kevin already on Mastodon before the episode but I'm here to say hi and good work

[hashbangperl@hachyderm.io]

@kevin pretty much replaced my xitter use entirely now.

[seanmcsean@theforkiverse.com]

@kevin thanks for instigating…I think. Honestly I don’t know what to expect from this place.

As an architect (not the software or solution version) I’ve designed digital versions of physical spaces that have never been realized. This digital space you guys created has been at least partially realized. That’s an encouraging start!

@matthijs
That's the standard Fediverse anxiety.
Or that there are suddenly ads.

And then it just goes on.
@kevin

[aprilfollies@mastodon.online]

@SeanMcSean @kevin See, this kind of realistic optimism is The Way.

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@stefan @kevin I’m watching this with guarded curiosity. New, smart fedizens? Hmm…

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@SeanMcSean @kevin There are architecture nerds here. Plenty of building junkies on pixelfed to follow (fediverse version of intagram, no ads, no algo)

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@wendinoakland Fingers crossed!

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@SeanMcSean @kevin How did you motherforkers found out about the fediverse and hop on this train? I must’ve missed something, but glad that you’re here and welcome.
