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

[ben@social.ben.ie]

@kevin thanks for starting the party!

[jerome@jasette.facil.services]

@kevin yes! Welcome

[jsit@social.coop]

@kevin Using Mastodon? Yeah we’ve been here this whole time man, welcome

[jsit@social.coop]

@kevin Or I guess you mean using your new instance.

[seanharding@theforkiverse.com]

@kevin Looks like it's beyond 2k users now. Is that not actually a hard limit?

[scottjenson@social.coop]

@kevin Welcome! There are MANY things to complain about with the Fediverse but detracters tend to overlook the many positive things about it. I left 30k followers on Twitter to "only" 6K here but my interactions and discussions are far better than what I had there.

It's still fairly small and the community is mostly technical but we're taking a "Long Now" approach here (not a silicon valley burst mode)

[nshivar@mastodon.online]

@kevin YES! Welcome!

[ikesau@micro.ikesau.co]

@kevin hell yeah

[crob@theforkiverse.com]

@kevin uh we're gonna need a bigger boat...

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@kevin Fediverse is pretty neat, once you get into it!

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@matthijs @kevin don’t worry, fedi has been around for a good while and is certainly not going anywhere soon

[liquor_american@universeodon.com]

@kevin You're late

[riffraff@theforkiverse.com]

@kevin was there any doubt?

[sebastian@mastodon.com.pl]

@kevin For now, it's the best thing of its kind in the world.

[outer@mas.to]

@kevin Hiya. Thanks for coming around in person.

[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.
