@terreii I'm now now Mastodon, too! You can find me at https://indieweb.social/@Terreii (twitter.com/_/status/1589059825006436353)

@pattmayne I moved to from my http://cybre.space account to @pattmayne@indieweb.social (twitter.com/_/status/1589059567916568576)
# 
@eric_mccorkle ↩️ I set up shop on the indieweb Mastodon instance a while back, and I love it, though I don't expect it'll be everyone's jam.
I'll hang around here, but I anticipate it sliding downhill pretty fast. I hope I get to keep following you and the other science folks, whatever happens. (twitter.com/_/status/1589059464992153600)
# @pattmayne ↩️ oh man, I was spoiled by the (soon to be defunct) http://cybre.space aesthetic. I just set up on http://indieweb.social and vanilla @joinmastodon is indeed very ugly. And it sucks that their posts are called "toots." http://cybre.space called them "pings" (twitter.com/_/status/1589059188504039425)

# @alopexfoxy ↩️ Indieweb: even messier & more complicated than Mastodon, but I'm starting to think it's worth the pain to figure out.

# 
@tomfinley ↩️ Conceptually, there could/would be the instance (managed Mastodon server), the forum (via https://element.io), and the plugin (piggybacking off the ActivityPub/Indieweb plugins already published, but ostensibly it would be vastly simplified *with better onboarding, ahem*) (twitter.com/_/status/1589120764103442432)
# 
@jaxroam ↩️ The unbroken bridge is #BridgyFed, connecting the two archipelagos of #IndieWeb and #Mastodon. (The htaccess line lets the bridge stand on your site.)
This is a good solution, far better than no solution, but still clunky and brittle long-term.

@oshuma I haven't posted much on here in the past 15 years, but as an open web supporter, the direction of Twitter (and centralized social media in general) is bad for innovation and democracy. Let's try something different, improve and iterate.

@profcarroll It’s not easy picking a mastodon server today since so many are closed (incl mine). If I had to pick right now to get started, I’d probably go for:

# @jdp23 ↩️ Thanks much! I'll add more links as I find them.
As to *why* there aren't a lot of Black people in Mastodon, there's some discussion and links from 2017 in the thread at https://indieweb.social/web/@jdp23/109298769379065802
