When I first got on the net 20 years ago, I was surprised to find myself talking with so many people with unique expertise and experiences. No conferences, tickets, reservations, or credentials required.
Then the myspaces and the facebooks and the youtubes overshadowed that internet. Their model is the same as television - dumb mass broadcast, not intelligent interconnection and interdependence.
One of the reasons I love #Mastodon is because here, that internet of 20 years ago is still alive.
