I know why everyone is leaving the other place, but why has this one been chosen as the new one?
Mostly because it seems to be where everyone's shifting to. Robert tweeted his account link yesterday too. In all honesty, I think a lot of the hoohah on the twitters is being blown out of proportion. You never see that level of fuss being made about farcebook & that place is a real hell hole
So is this something really lucky to happen (for mastodon) where they've made a cheap ripoff of a successful product and then said product implodes and everyone jumps to the knockoff?

It's fairly uncommercial - no advertising allowed etc. I think it's a niche thing (very different architecture) that is the closest fit. I guess time will tell if it's lucky!
Something I just learned about Mastadon last night: using a third-party app makes for a MUCH better experience than using their app. As others have said in many places, Mastadon’s own app is very buggy. In the short time I used it, it was constantly crashing, refusing to upload images or paste links. Switched to a third-party app last night (Tootle) and it’s better by leaps and bounds.
I tried it for a while a couple of days ago and I think in the browser it was OK, weird a bit though. But it's just a lifeboat, I can't imagine using two(!) social media. Twitter is too much for me anyway. But if it's going to sink, I'll jump out.
But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile
I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.
