I signed up yesterday. Looks like Twitter but is decentralized like Email. There are already a lot of people there (~56k [1]), Brendan Eich for example [2] and it seems to grow fast. Hope this works out. Would be a great way to move away from the social platform silos Tim Berners-Lee mentioned.[3]

I am, it's mostly a technical audience right now, but a couple of journalists and popular icons are joining.

Dan Harmon (Community, Rick and Morty) https://mastodon.social/@danharmon Grahan Linehan (IT Crowd) https://mastodon.social/@glinner

Plus a few french youtube icons and FOSS people as well. There's a big LGBT community
