    Is this a good time to remind people to join Mastodon? I was pleasantly surprised that there is in fact a very well sized community across Mastodon instances.

    Its very similar to what we've been seeing over the past 8 or so years. The only difference is that the shoe is now on the other foot. I wonder if we're going to see the usual echo chambers (reddit, etc) reverse polarity in the coming year.
