Social Media has the advantage of shorter cycles. The next big thing will be more federated again, Mastodon or Scuttlebutt. And then the next big thing will be even more federated. And so on. Until we're back at every device hosting its own homepage.

Shit. I just realized I forgot about scuttlebutt. I really need to go find my key again post fresh OSX install.

double lol. Same here. I just realized that it didn't survive fresh install and haven't been there in ages. Still in love with the architecture though.

Yea. The conversations were really good (although partially because on-boarding was such a pain that it filtered a lot).
