Today I got new inspiration regarding #WebSocial (aka the #Fediverse), when I met an old acquaintance and his friend

The acquaintance tried to call me a #TechBro. With some salt, and sugar, I explained what a tech bro was, why I despised them and rolled out a simple explanation of what #Mastodon was.

His friend was surprised and said he didn't know that such a thing existed. My acquaintance then said he wanted to start his own server.

I then realized he's probably not the only one in my city.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://snabelen.no/users/hopland/statuses/114485992260743533 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
