The collapse of Twitter is a system breakdown. Mastodon and the fediverse represent something different: _system change_. From for-profit "Big Tech" to nonprofit, open source, community-owned public spaces.
System change is always harder than you think. It always incurs short-term costs, with hoped for long-term benefits.
The next few weeks will be really tough for the fediverse. Stick around, vibe with it, and you just might help us put a huge part of the web back in community hands. <3
@eloquence The term disruptive, eg a disruptive technology, is used when something very new make its way (iPhone may serve as one example). It's far too early to tell how Twitter will evolve and its position as well as Mastodon. But right now, maybe Mastodon will get a disruptive advantage caused by a person on the other product. Quick thoughts.
