@feditips@mstdn.social it's frustrating because media articles are saying that Mastodon is a replacement for Twitter rather than its own platform with its own identity. I'll admit I'm new to this platform but I know it's a completely different vibe.

Mastodon is not even... @azurechrom@noc.social > its own platform with its own identity. It's a piece of server software with its own identity. You could say that each instance of Mastodon is a platform, or that the fediverse is a distributed platform, made up of all the instances (of Mastodon and other fedi server software). But there's no such unicorn as a Mastodon platform, unless you mean the stage the metal band Mastodon plays on ;) @feditips@mstdn.social

@azurechrom@noc.social @feditips@mstdn.social I dunno man, isn't everything old is new again? Usenet was distributed back in the day. And, I used to despise losers who appended GNU to Linux, but now I insist that Mastodon is not a network... https://zaitcev.livejournal.com/251546.html
