For new people wondering why Mastodon is on thousands of servers instead of one:
-It helps protect us all against Elon Musk scenarios. It's very difficult for anyone to buy a network made of thousands of independently owned servers. (It's the same reason why no one owns the world's email network, because there are so many independent providers out there.)
-If your server misbehaves (or sells out to a malevolent billionaire), you can move your account to a different server, or even to a brand new server. Decentralisation means you're never trapped on a site you hate.
-Mastodon is an open platform where anyone can start their own server, and they don't need tech knowledge if they use a service like https://masto.host or https://federation.spacebear.ee
...and there are lots more good reasons too, to do with servers using alternative Fediverse software etc, but I'll save that for a future post 😁
I stumbled into an insanely good way to make sure I get my monthly writing done

its wild being on here cuz I realize how much of my approach to posting on #twitter was through the lens of 'how do I make this a viral'
I don't feel that at all here and frankly? it feels good
any other #twitch #streamers on here? I stream a show called Help Wanted - its basically a live podcast where we bring on funny + cool guests and try to help them with their real problems. We usually fail to help but we laugh and its a good time for all.
digging this walkthru of mastodon from @twisterghost
"On Mastodon, a simple “hello, this is who I am!” post on an account with zero followers can still gain traction and help get you connected with others. People engage far more often with the content in their feed. It is a welcoming, collaborative and unapologetically human space. I cannot emphasize this enough: we're all just vibing over here."

@alexdobrenko
The server (instance) does affect what you see to some extent but they are mainly like gateways to the network.
ok so this might be dumb but - does it matter what server we choose? Like I am on mas.to but does that mean anything in terms of what I see or can post on and engage with?
I was looking through other servers here https://mastodon.social/ and my brain is like "ooooh i wanna be part of all of them" lol - can someone help me wwrap my head around this?
question: can you import #twitter followers into here?
And finally I write about creativity, being a dad, etc on Substack and Medium #substack #medium #dad #fatherhood #parenting #newparents
