Someone reminded me that I shouldn't find "people to follow" here. Instead, I should find people to *have conversations with.*

Unlearning 14 years of Twitter terminology and mindset isn't an overnight thing. But it's important to shift how I look at this space.

Because this space is special.

Lotta talk about replacing Twitter.

The better dialogue is how to get people to re-evaluate how they engage with the internet.

Personally, I'm convinced of two things:

- You can't 1:1 replace Twitter unless it's a similar top-down walled garden.

- Most people probably shouldn't want a Twitter replacement, since Twitter is bad for us.

Instead of finding/molding/creating a replacement, we should encourage people (and ourselves!) to focus on what they like most about internet interaction.

My wish is to keep my timeline pure. I’d love to know more about you, what you’re working on and less about <the latest drama >. This week I’m teaching a course at Univ. of Fl on Principles of Entrepreurship, judging this year’s alumni pitch competition at VCU, developing data tools to standardize complex enterprise (business) rules at Time Study, taking some naps, and entertaining the kids and my favorite pup “Chip”

Things (for me) to learn:
- (the real) impact of self hosted instances
- hashtags seem important (discoverability)
- privacy nuances (assuming that nothing is private, not even DMs)
- threading / branches
- crossposting tools

After sleeping on it, I think #Mastodon should rename ‘instances’ to ‘Communities.’

Instances feels too technical and I see even savvy people struggling to understand it.

I argue communities would make much more sense. It denotes much of the purpose behind _why_ this service has different instances, and many people will already be familiar with the concept from Reddit (the, what, sixth most popular site on the net?).

I've been covering technology since the 90s (and using the internet since the 1980s, before there was a web 😏) and have to say I have never seen anything like the high speed mass migration to Mastodon from Twitter. These things generally happen as a drift not a sudden avalanche and it's extra-amazing that at this highly commercial moment in internet history, it's to a decentralised, free and open source software-based community. It's just 🤯 (in a good way)

Does anybody want to build a little fediverse app idea I had? I don’t have the bandwidth to build a side project right now but I’d gladly sponsor somebody to do so.

I now understand how my mom felt when she created her first social media account (FB). I need to apologize to her for being impatient ...

Joining Mastodon is like kick-starting life on another planet. I'm about to make a ton of mistakes while I figure this thing out 😆
