This is a very white space. All POCs need to recruit fam
@Lexialex Are you talking about octodon.social or Mastodon as a whole?
@starbreaker *whispers* they’re not the same thing?
@Lexialex @starbreaker Imagine a big group of friends and family goes out to dinner and reserves a big table. Imagine several other big groups ALSO book the same restaurant. They all arrive at various overlapping times. Turns out you know the guy at the next table, so you start chatting. He introduces you to the person next to him, and you all talk. This happens all around the restaurant.
Mastodon is the restaurant, the different reserved tables are the instances.
@demonkind @starbreaker very good. But why does it take skill to get a table. Shouldn’t a table be easy to access for all?
@Lexialex @starbreaker They /are/ easy access for anyone who is comfortable in this sort of tech spaces. The challenge, very real and important, is to find a way to make these spaces more welcoming to the unfamiliar and the (justly) suspicious.
