I don't think Mastodon or the fediverse has ever received this much attention before. It's a great opportunity for people to finally see that social media can be done differently, that it can be a protocol not under control of any single company.

@Gargron not really comfortable when German guys get too ambitious, so maybe let's take it down a notch Eugen

@Gargron I think Elon showing who he really is pushed a lot of people over into seeing learning a new platform as worth the effort. I think Mastodon just hit the "Early majority" section of the tech adoption curve with a lot of non-tech professionals coming on and starting to guide their circles in.

@Gargron this feels familiar but also much less grimy than other legacy social media.

@Gargron some blind people I know on Twitter are freaked out by the Accessibility team being let go. I can still see, but I am a braille user. Twitter is one of the only usable sites on the internet with a braille terminal. I mostly have to go back to practicing on books. Facebook is ok too. Mouseless nav, and good text descriptions matter.

It’s honestly wild to see the network expanding so much, so fast. This situation has been talked about in hypotheticals in years prior, usually in response to brief waves of migrations. But, this is probably the biggest one yet.Anyway, thank you for all the great work that you’ve been doing! Mastodon really helped rocket #ActivityPub and the wider #fediverse into the stratosphere.

@Gargron It feels different this time. Like people are finally realizing that they can currently just be bought and sold.Like when Murdoch bought Myspace for half a billion dollars and then everyone just left.

@Gargron Hopefully, you guys do updates to this site to make it a lot easier to use and understand. It has great potential, especially now since it’s getting a lot of attention.

@optimusjackCan you go into a bit more detail? It's a lot easier to make this easier to use once we understand exactly what's making it hard to use :)@Gargron

@robfieldingHow are you and your visually challenged friends finding the accessibility here so far? Any improvements you can suggest right off the bat?@Gargron

@Gargron how do you sell mastodon as the protocol? Should I convince friends by explanation of activity pub, or more the mastodon feature set? It's been hard convincing others it's not just another "platform".

@seth People seem to more impressed by taps and sinks than by the plumbing that makes them work. I suggest showing your friends that you can follow a PeerTube channel or a PixelFed account from your Mastodon account. Then ask them if they can follow a EweTube channel or an InstaGroan account from their Titter account. Just another platform is it?#FediTips@Gargron

@strypey @Gargron Probably the layout and navigation. Ability to find things. I’m using mobile, and I think that the mobile version should be just as good as the web version. Just my thoughts.

@optimusjackWith all due respect to @Gargron and the Mastodon crew, have you tried some of the other mobile apps? One of these might suit you better:https://joinmastodon.org/apps

@Gargron Maybe, the first movement began here in #IndiaScroll.in: Twitter has become toxic. Can Mastodon provide a saner, safer alternative?.https://scroll.in/article/945163/twitter-has-become-toxic-can-mastodon-provide-a-saner-safer-alternative

@Gargron But explaining the differences in philosophy and operation will not be easy. Twitter wasn't especially intuitive either.
