masto-history help please? 

Would you all point me to any cite-able links discussing Masto's relatively queer/furry/commie early community?

I want to refer to it in an essay, and can't simply offer my personal recollection as evidence.

Articles, blog posts all welcome. Anything with a stable URL.

Thank you so much!

@brooke i saw a good article on medium a few months ago, lemme see if i can find it

masto-history help please? 

@brooke ugh i hate how google chrome has broken history!! tho it's no surprise since they'd prefer you websearch it to find it again

masto-history help please? 

@brooke welp, i can't find it, sorry :c it's almost impossible to search through my post history but i know i talked to the author... i'm almost certain it was called "mastodon is dead" or something bc it talked specifically about how patreon surge with nonqueer folks means queer people's needs were starting to get decentred... but now i can't find it searching on medium. maybe they deleted it? iuno

@kit Yes! I recall Hart's post now. Here is another that appeared on Medium, by Richard J. Anderson: sanspoint.com/archives/2017/04
