@shauna my wife won't let me wear the shirt anymore because it's so old and has holes in it. But, the idea I contributed to decades ago is long gone.

@mmasnick Bluesky might be great for a Twitter replacement but, for many, the teardown of Twitter means we can move towards something else beyond a centralized environment.

Many, like me, have gone out at stood-up their own Mastodon instance and are either running their own single/small instance or hosting for others and working the economics and community fun around that.
It's no longer trying to play with Insta or X influencers or ballers or whatever. Such a breath of fresh air.
