A very good thing: bitcoinhackers.org @MastodonProject instance already has 1k users.
However (per @nvk's prerogative) it is decidedly #Bitcoin maximalist focused. (see pics)
Would you use a $crypto-agnostic, #altcoin/token friendly #Mastodon instance?
(poll below)
I won't cannibalize bitcoinhackers.org's growth, but I could host a $crypto-agnostic Mastodon instance at notosfast.org for relief from Twitter spam, account locking.
Could federate w/ bitcoinhackers.org
Can auto-crosspost to Twitter w/ IFTTT
Mobile app exists

And it is indeed a mere coincidence that I spent the last days looking at alternative social networks that are federated and decentralised, and all based on open source software. The following tweets describe a few of my impressions.
#Mastodon is a very friendly community that is remotely based on the old StatusNet open-source software. Does anyone remember Identica? You choose a server to create an account on, and can follow people from all connected (federated) instances.
You have fine-grained, but very concise control over where each post goes. Each post has a limit of 500 characters, and you can add a content warning, which will be the only thing initially displayed if you do. You can then choose to read the rest or not.
