Yeah, but tech journos are so far up Big Tech’s cloaca that they can’t imagine any platform emerge without a business plan™. Couple that with their unreflected admiration for anything they’re told is The Next Thing and you have the gushing bit you quoted.
They did make a brief mention of Mastodon, but like a lot of places made it sound a lot more confusing than it is.
Are there any well maintained indexes out there where you could put in a few check boxes of interests and it spits out an instance to join in fedi space yet?
I think Fedi Garden does a good job of making it accessible, but I still think that curated list needs updating.
None of the automated find-me-an-instance sites have really convinced me, but I have an okay niche server for my interests, and if that folds I’ll probably host a GoToSocial instance just for myself…

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
