@smitty My impression so far is that it feels like the original internet because it's populated with "my people". As others here have pointed out, that's how Twitter felt as well.

It'll be fascinating to see how federation influences Mastodon's evolution as more people enter the fold and compare that to what happened with Twitter. It's not going to be the same challenges but I'm sure there will be some interesting inflection points where federation plays a major role.
