It's pretty wild that the #Fediverse basically replaced Twitter and Facebook for as many people as it has. Sure, it's nothing Earth-shattering, but it's come a long way since I joined in 2010 or so.

I think the biggest sign for me was that I stopped logging into Facebook/Twitter/Instagram once a day/week/month to explain how everyone should leave. I think I still do it like once a quarter though.

"the internet now is just 5 websites posting screenshots of the other 4," as someone said. Why not Mastodon as a 6th site posting screenshots, with no ads!?!?

Big Tech, who controls the narrative, definitely wouldn't want to let that happen. That's precisely why all of the news was "Mastodon is dead" a while back.

Hot business tip and/or dystopian prediction: when you try to take a screenshot, you get an ad-style pop up saying "looks like you're trying to steal our content via screenshot. We only allow that for our content partners. Would you agree to be our brand ambassador?"
