    Gee whiz wow who could have possibly seen this coming.

    But people have been assuring me that it is a federated protocol, so I guess I’ll just join another instance. I’m sure there is a list somewhere… It’s coming… Any day now…

          Nobody is hiding or gate keeping the platform

          It works how the internet should work properly imho

          Hopefully we can scale it.

          People who are able to should be reminded to donate twice per year.
