@tomscott Hedging your future park bench input feeds?:)- Good to see you with a toe in.

@tomscott HOLY SHIT i just noticed this.

@tomscott nice to see you here!

@tomscott Welcome to the Fediverse!

@tomscott@mastodon.social ​:texas_peek:​ hi tom

@tomscott hmm, Tom, you should choose a better Fedi instance than that

@tomscott@mastodon.social also famous last words ​:meowblep:​

@tomscott cool to see you here.

@tomscott@mastodon.social are you the real tom scott?? ​:bun:​

@tomscott FWIW, there are way too many "the next big thing"s. This sort of makes them all not "the next big thing".

@tomscott where are you Tom?

@tomscott Gotta grab the handle before it's taken!

@tomscott forgot your password or what?
take your time, we'll be waiting…

@tomscott four years later, and this aged very well. no sarcasm this time.

you're surprisingly good at predicting the future

@tomscott

Never expect to see you here, welcome!

Just a reminder Mastodon is just one software piece of software among many designed to interact with the fediverse using the Activitypub api. The fediverse is the federation of decentralized servers running software that utilizes this api. Popular fediverse platforms in Mastodon, Pleroma, Soapbox and Honk to name a few. Plus other picture hosting and blogging software too.

@tomscott
Well Tom, if you understand the importance of decentralized and federated social networks with chronological timelines. It already is the next big thing!

Sometimes it is not about the number of users, but the freedom of use.

I'd rather live in a place with very few free people than a huge city of slaves. IMHO

@tomscott are you the cillit bang guy?

@tomscott Shame you don't use it.

@tomscott It will only be the next big thing if you use it. That is how these things work.

@tomscott welcome

@tomscott @liaizon hopefully it isn’t the next big thing.

@tomscott Come back to us Tom!

@tomscott it is going that direction.

@tomscott Coward! Errr, I mean "welcome". 😁

@tomscott I hope it will. Cheers, Tom!

@tomscott Tom come back

@tomscott Welcome back!

@tomscott prescient as ever; I'm impressed!

@tomscott@mastodon.social Love everyone who doesn't realize this was from six years ago, lol

Tom, please come back ​:blobfoxcryreach:​

@tomscott it may have taken almost 6 years but the tide is turning.

@tomscott He knew

So how about it? Will you be a part of it becoming the next big thing?
@tomscott

@tomscott I think it’s the next big thing now

@tomscott@mastodon.social

back yet?

@tomscott

@tomscott Well : )

@tomscott Why does something need to be the "next big thing" to be the best thing? My experience in tech shows that once the masses latch on to something 10 years after it is created, it gets ruined. Look at the web now decades later, it is a shit pile. Send me back to 1993 please...

@tomscott oh how right you were...

@tomscott
It would seem playing the long game is going to pay off.

@tomscott trendsetter

@tomscott it's now growing!

Please post on here, you will be most welcomed.

@tomscott It could well be now Musk is being an arse.

@tomscott literally jinxed it 5 years later ghahaha

@tomscott this man saw it coming SO LONG AGO

@tomscott it turns out to be the next big thing now, so about time that you start using it ;)

@tomscott Tom, I think it’s time.

@tomscott it seems to be gaining followers everyday

@tomscott with twitter now it might have been wise to register 6 years ago

@tomscott it happened:)

@tomscott I think you may have been onto something

@tomscott come back Tom!

@tomscott It's time

@tomscott Is it future yet?

@tomscott you got to keep the doors open, man.

@tomscott ​:pogscott:​

@tomscott Holy crap I love Tom Scott

@tomscott Someone is logging in with a lot of notifications

@tomscott smart man

@tomscott it's getting traction

@tomscott With Twitter (oh sorry 𝕏) being pretty much dead - why don't come over again after 6 years and revive this account?

@tomscott PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL

@tomscott You predicted it!

@tomscott Welcome to a nice place on the internet :)

@tomscott I anxiously await your next post with baited breath

@tomscott Who needs Tom Scott when we have Tom Scott's thread to entertain us?

@tomscott Welcome here, this is a very nice environment.

@tomscott it's the next medium sized thing after the next big thing blows up

@tomscott pretty shure you'll see the line going up now...

@tomscott

This is definitely the next big thing. Don't miss out!

@tomscott it should be the next big thing. but attitudes like this kinda make sure it won’t be.

Don’t just squat on your mastodon account! go use it and if you don’t love it help improve it!
