Sometimes trends change, sometimes poor decisions are made that cause a mass exodus. Young people have gone to TikTok in major ways, and Facebook is what the oldies now use. That’s why Facebook became Meta and they started dabbling in all sorts of other things. The longevity of Facebook is clearly in serious jeopardy.

The online world is full of offerings with large audiences that are now distant memories.Įven look at Facebook, the number of young people using Facebook is tanking. Look at the former popularity of AOL or CompuServe. LiveJournal was another platform that had a significant user base, including in the blind community actually. Remember Myspace? At its peak, in April 2008, Myspace boasted 115 million unique users. Those of us who’ve been around a while will remember the phenomenon that was Myspace. I’m still optimistic enough to believe that social media can be used for good in the world, but with a busy day job and this podcast to produce every week, I’ve got limited discretionary time. First, let’s talk about why I have set up a presence on Mastodon now in November 2022, even though as a voracious reader of tech news, I’ve actually known about Mastodon for at least five years, I would say. I won’t be teaching you everything you need to know, but I hope that this will give you a start and I will put some useful resources in the show notes for you if you’d like some more information. What I’ve noticed is that not surprisingly, given the source, a lot of misinformation is being spread about Mastodon on Twitter. I hope though, to give you some facts so you can make up your own mind about that. Now, I am a major Mastodon enthusiast, at least for now, but you have to decide whether you want to use it instead of, or in addition to Twitter, if at all. It’s not my intention to try to persuade you to use the service, although I must admit, I started this a little bit skeptical, a little bit on the fence. I’ll do my best to give you a balanced take on the strengths and the weaknesses of the ecosystem as I perceive them. When you come into any community, there’s terminology, there’s culture, there are expectations, and it was probably like that the first time you joined Twitter, it was a bit confusing, and then you just got into the culture. People seem to have got the impression that it’s super geeky and it’s difficult. I’ll do a little bit of demonstrating at the end, but mostly, I want to take time to explain some key concepts of Mastodon. I’m going to devote quite a bit of time to this open source social network. Now, with all the Twitter shenanigans of late, there’s been an increasing interest in Mastodon. Some of the things that I’ll talk about are general, they’re all done through a blindness lens, if you will. This podcast deals with issues from a blindness perspective. Who can blame them? I’m sure there’ll be some people here who are making sure that I fairly represent the platform that they’ve painstakingly built and the platform that they love. Now, I’m going to get right into a lengthy discussion about Mastodon, and I want to welcome people listening to this podcast from Mastodon because one thing I’ve learned in my short time on Mastodon is that the old timers in Mastodon that is people who have been on for longer than about two weeks at this point, really are proud of what they’ve built and they’re protective of their community and I like that.

If you are listening from area code 206, the very area code that represents this episode number, enjoy your moment in the sun or the rain. Still, it may be wasted on me, but I’m sure it’s green and lovely in Seattle. I’m not sure whether it’s me, perhaps I attract the Seattle rain or something, like the Rain God in one of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy books, I’m not sure, but it does seem to rain an awful lot in Seattle. I must say that every time I visited, it seems to be raining. It’s a pleasure to have you back for Episode 206 and if you’re keeping track, 206 in North American area codes is Seattle, a lovely part of the United States.
