Before the whole Reddit migration I was passively aware of the Fediverse, I thought I somewhat grasped the concept, and had created a Mastodon account, but never really used it.
But once the migration started, I decided to try out Kbin, and really liked it, and even started to use Mastodon more often.

Doubleposted fyi.

Personally I was vaguely aware of Mastodon when it first started being talked about as a Twitter competitor. But I didn't really "get it", I thought it was Twitter with added email functionality or something.

Wasn't until spez shattered reddits remaining anti-troll defenses that I started actually doing some research, and finding out Mastodon actually does not have email functionality. Something completely different from that, actually.
