       My evening thought:ActivityPub/Mastodon works best for groups of people that share some common interest. People with a "we" attitude. Where we talk eye to eye, not from top to bottom.Centralised social networks however have made many of us believe that all social networks focus on people with a "me first" attitude. The more egoistic people that base their value on metrics like followers and reach.That's a fundamental dilemma that pops up every time people move from "there" to "here".

       (I would very much like it when you take this as #FoodForThought, not as yet another opportunity for endless discussions on details etc. Think about it, take from it what you think is good and maybe just leave it at that? Or come back tomorrow with replies, after you had a good night of sleep. That's a proven strategy for good discussions, BTW. The "I must reply immediately" urge is also a leftover from what centralised social networks taught you is the "best" way to become more relevant. :)
