@jdp23 ↩️ Thanks for writing that, @Johannes_Ernst! Agreed about focusing on real problems; decentralization for its own sake isn’t enough.  

But I see Mastodon differently than you.  Here’s my perspectives (from May 2017)

@jdp23 ↩️ For many people, a Twitter-like network where you don’t have to deal with harassment *is* addressing a real problem.  I was just reading another thread about Mastodon where somebody mentioned that a big chunk of trans twitter is over there already. (twitter.com/_/status/1028880967056875520)

@jdp23 ↩️ Mastodon’s got some anti-harassment features (content warnings and instance-level blocking for example - more at https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/) ... lots more needed of course, but if they prioritize this, it’ll be compelling for a lot of people.

@jdp23 ↩️ Mastodon’s got some anti-harassment features (content warnings and instance-level blocking for example - more in @Gargron ’s post at https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/). Lots more work needed of course, but if they prioritize this, it’ll be compelling for a lot of people. (twitter.com/_/status/1028881559468748801)

@jdp23 ↩️ Another example: @SwitterSocial focuses on a key use case for a lot of people. Mastodon hasn’t evolved much yet to support Switter (as far as I know), but  focusing on these priorities could get a lot of traction. (twitter.com/_/status/1028881842273890305)

@jgmac1106 ↩️ Been doing #IndieWeb in  my classes since 2015. first year having students build out from #DoOO rather than @withknown or http://wordpress.com

May like this a course template with proper(ish??) microformats soon to have webmention powered badges (http://jgregorymcverry.com/5955-2/) (twitter.com/_/status/1029135012107612160)

@jgmac1106 ↩️ Earl,

If you can scrape up the travel funds, wash a Dean’s car or something, try to make it to @IndieWebCamp NYC https://indieweb.org/2018/NYC. Gonna be a lot of us #DoOO folk trying to bring the values and tools to classrooms (http://jgregorymcverry.com/5960-2/) (twitter.com/_/status/1029137308509982720)

@Mister_Ayyye ↩️ Would definitely love to pick your brain more about your experiences. #LRA18 this year? No official #DoOO support for us, so it's more of a pet project for now. But man does it get me fired up for the new semester. (twitter.com/_/status/1029137411085807619)
# 22:49 
@Mister_Ayyye ↩️ Looks pretty dope. Seems that virtual presence/participation also possible? I mean, would love to take a trip back east, but in case the car wash falls through... (twitter.com/_/status/1029137851789656064)

@jgmac1106 ↩️ Not  #DoOO either. Just said, in eight years of teaching I have never made a class buy a book. I am asking you to spend $40 to write yourself on the world

Yeah #IndieWeb as the best remote options. Part of conference not just consuming stream (http://jgregorymcverry.com/5964-2/) (twitter.com/_/status/1029150501378633730)
