I just started listening to a discussion between @danielpunkass and @manton about the risk of Mastodon becoming the default #Fediverse platform, and crowding out other Fediverse services like Micro.blog (for example).
On a similar note, what if Tumblr becomes a dominant #ActivityPub service? Will it crowd out the rest?
I will probably have a few more thoughts when I have time to really listen and consider their thoughts.
Worth listening for sure, though: https://pca.st/rj79laxg#t=28m14s
@Ron Thanks for your kind words about my writing! I rewrite intensively to communicate in plain English. It means a lot to hear that my efforts are working. So glad you’ve found some things to be useful, which is my other writing goal.
I personally like having just one timeline.
I don’t see it as either/or; I see it as both/and. In my ignorance, I don’t understand the technical tips, but I assume they are well-written and useful for those who do understand them.
And – lots of developers here have wide-ranging interests! I love seeing people’s cat and dog photos, and outdoor adventures, and have also gotten some very helpful information from following more tech-driven bloggers (e.g. I learned about the Johnny.Decimal system from a developer here; I’ve also learned about Standard Notes, TextExpander and some Obsidian tips which are truly useful for me).
I could equally see people wishing for a Luddites’ Corner for paper and fountain pen stuff…
