Happy to see that @mozilla will be joining @Vivaldi on #Mastodon. The more that join, the better. Every organization and media company should be setting up shop on Mastodon. First with an account, then with an instance.

@jon @Vivaldi @mozilla

I disagree Jon.

I'm happy to see that Mozilla will be joining us here in the #Fediverse too, and it's fine that they chose mastodon as the Fediverse platform they'll initially use, but i disagree with you that entities should make their Fediverse platform of choice a "mastodon" branding.

There are many others that are arguably so much better to choose from.

@ruario and I had previously discussed this and though I was a bit harsh, he did agree promoting Fediverse best

@tallship @jon @Vivaldi @mozilla @ruario Yes. I've been on as many different fediverse networks as I can for many years. Mastodon is too shallow and Twitter like. No special interest groups where you get to know the members, with 2-way dialog, which is missing from the Local timeline. Only in replies, but impossible for others to find later.
Mastodon has a quality UI and it is getting members, but with it's drive-by announcements style, it can't build communities as well as some of the others.
