I heard about via some friends who are into privacy tools and open source software. I first joined Diaspora and then was introduced to Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, etc.

It was Mastodon. I went to DEF CON back in 2021 and someone talked to me about it. It sounded really interesting, but I didn't check it out for quite some time, but finally did so in early 2022. It was cool, I thought, but there wasn't much going on, and I lost interest.

When Elon was getting close to buying Twitter, I re-engaged. Suddenly, things were hopping, and I've been having a blast ever since.
