 <p>Thanks, Jack. Twitter the social network is dead. That service that started out as a way to send status updates to your friends has been replaced by Twitter, a bloated, lumbering mess trying to force-feed you a stale diet of whatever Content™ floats to the top of the river of shit.</p>

It just took about four years for them to finally admit that they gave up on being an open, conversational platform and they are now a content aggregator.</p>
 
 <p>Now, anyone looking for a conversational platform is not going to find it on Twitter. How can there be conversation when you can't even be sure of the visibility of your messages? I, for one, have already mostly abandoned this network-that-is-not-a-network-anymore, as have several others.</p>
 
 <p>In a world where the big "social networks" are trying very hard to no longer be social networks  &mdash;  with Facebook trying to be your news feed and Twitter trying much the same before pivoting to surfacing viral content &mdash;  there is a big void for people who still want to <em>communicate</em>. To be <em>social</em>, among their <em>network</em> of friends.</p>

Just a way to keep up with other people, with no ads and no algorithmic shuffling &mdash; just your friends' statuses, in reverse-chronological order.</p>

 <p>And even though Mastodon has only been usable for barely over a year, it's growing and improving quickly enough that I feel comfortable enough to use it full-time. It's absolutely refreshing to have a laid-back conversational hangout again. You can find me at <a href="https://mastodon.social/@trwnh">https://mastodon.social/@trwnh</a> for now &mdash; and if you want to learn more, go to <a href="https://joinmastodon.org">https://joinmastodon.org</a> and read about how it works.</p>
 
 <p>It's probably going to be a bit of a shock at first, and hard to understand if you're used to being a product. But it makes way more sense when you do get it. Because we've been conditioned by the past decade to view everything through the lens of capital and profit; we've grown dependent on corporations to provide our platforms, for their benefit and not for ours. We're just a metric for them, another pair of eyeballs to view ads.</p>
