Who else got this unsolicited private mention from this account? Somehow seems dodgy to me. Why would a Polish girl from Toronto be on a chinanews instance? and if she's the Fediverse Chick why did see only create her Mastodon account 3 days ago? and Frendica yesterday? 🤔 #Spam

@killyourfm 👏 but I get this when scrolling on the page in Firefox on Android (and on a Chrome based browser too, actually )

"▶️ There will continue to be waves of users migrating to emerging social media platforms in 2024 and they will primarily be going to Threads, BlueSky, and Mastodon roughly in that order. No new alternative social platforms emerge with any substance in 2024."

*2025* 😉

Happy Solstice everyone!

@cwebber I think you meant to write "centralized today, in practice" here, right?

@cwebber I'd like to make a smaller than $10/mo regular contribution - where can I do that please? Thanks!

Just #migrating my #mastodon account from the wonderful #coops instance where I was @jdaviescoates to the @uniteddiversity instance I #selfhost, just because I can 🙂 (thanks to the power of @cloudron which makes #selfhosting easy)
