@polotek mastodon is weird already, in two major ways, but the weirdness has not expressed itself yet. Like the genes of a new organism, you only see what you've got once it grows. For now people wanted a less controlled twitter alternative. But 1) its open source. People fork it. And 2) it follows a open protocol. In the end it will be just one of dozens of server types that interoperate to some degree. This is most fertile ground for online communities to flourish. Imho there is no going back.
