When mastodon got a lot of attention late last year during the twitter exodus I decided to check it out. I wasn't on twitter in any meaningful way, so for me it wasn't a replacement.

I like the ideas behind fedi - I grew up on IRC in the 90s, and fedi feels familiar, like the old internet: distributed, messy, personal... anyways, I ran a one person mastodon instance for awhile, until I realized I wasn't into it enough to warrant the time. So now I just join other people's instances ;)

By the way thanks for setting up the Lemmy instance. @CatsWhoCode@u.fail when you decide to make uFail stick, please let us know how to support you and the server. Cheers!
