@hestes I'm not sure what point your making, other than that centralized platforms can help with some kinds of discovery.
This is true! Some things are much easier on centralized platforms. Discovery, spying, censorship, running it all in the ground by firing everyone involved over a period of 3 weeks.
We won't replace twitter, we're something different. The ways that twitter was used to amplify marginalized voices might not work as well here, it remains to be seen.
But we're a collection of people, and we can make the choice to amplify those things we find important.
So, again, I'm not sure what point you're making here. Could you explain what you mean?
@ajroach42 my point is that there were advantages to the way Twitter worked, especially in the early years, and that there are those who worry that the nature of Mastodon will mean that sub-communities are siloed in different nodes rather than participating in wider conversations.
