The fragmentation among friends that follows Twitter’s collapse is exactly the kind of problem that Mastodon and the social web solves for. Imagine that you don’t have to pick and choose which new platform to adopt, or make and maintain a million accounts—because you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on. That’s our reality.

@Gargron
I once described Twitter to my parents as public telegrams.

Mastodon is trying to create “social media” protocols like those underpinning phone calls, email and texts. Not just “read” but “respond.”

Today no corporations are pushing for interoperability due to paying for multiple email providers (eg, MCI mail, Compuserve, Prodigy) so employees could email folks outside the company.

Note: It would be 20+ years between SMTP (1981) and Gmail (2004).
