It mentions Mastodon, but presumably there will be a "flavor" that is more thread-like and connects well to lemmy/piefed/*bin?
UnderpantsWeevilIt's called "Blogging" and it is taking the nation by storm.
cecilkorikWe are reinventing our way back to Web 1.0, pretty soon we will be teaching people that they can design their own sites using simple tools or even just by typing in plain text and that they can use "links" to connect to other people's content anywhere else on the web.
And because this probably sounds like a facetious criticism, I need to clarify: it's really not a criticism at all. This is how the web is supposed to work. Companies broke it in order to entrap you and make profit from you.
