Rumors of the death of the fediverse have been greatly exaggerated. I'm following a vibrant community of nerds, creators, writers, game developers and interesting people on Mastodon right now, and there are numerous other platforms on the fediverse as well, with their own communities. Lots of people have been able to decide on one or more instances for themselves. I don't know why it's such an intractable problem for HN.
replyThe people that act like the fediverse died never really used to begin with. Or they’re the kind of people that expect to be able to blast out marketing posts and get instant feedback.
replyMy mastodon feed is really busy with way higher quality posts than I had back in the twitter days. Less spam too.
