At Opera we built MyOpera, a community site focused on serving the Opera community. It reached 35 million users and 35 million monthly visitors.

After I left Opera, MyOpera was dismantled and Opera went for Facebook and Twitter instead.

At @Vivaldi , we have built Vivaldi.net, with more than 1 million active accounts so far.

We have now made our own Vivaldi Social Mastodon server.

When you make your own server, you are more in control.

Are people learning?

@jon only time will tell, but I do hope in the coming years, social media turns to a more decentralized approach.

@jon @Vivaldi To get #NPR’s attention, we on Mastodon need to contact them directly to tell them why the #Fediverse is so spiffy. Here’s a link to their Contact Us form:
