I like the comic, but that's a mammoth not a mastodon.
- Being pedantic about the differences between mammoths and mastodons is legitimately one of my favorite pastimes. Thank you!
- Tusk, tusk!
- This user ^^ mammoths. Or Mastodons, possibly
- @OutlierBlue I guess the preference for European alternatives these days runs deep! :)
Is there any meaning behind those Saiga Antelopes?
- There are several mammoths (instances) peacefully grazing on the same pastures (the social web), but the pastures are also shared with completely different species of animal. Perhaps they are single-user instances as no birds are landing on them; perhaps they are completely different pieces of the social web, such as Peertube or Lemmy.
  Or maybe I'm over-thinking it.
  
  Nice interpretation :)
  I had to look up what those animals are, because i thought maybe their name is just the same as some other fediverse project. I looked for something like "two nosed white horned hooved mammal" and i did find it lol
More uncomfortable how, exactly?
- I understood it to mean that this bird feels like this particular mammoth isn’t quite as comfortable but he has a lot of other mammoths to choose from, so he is free
- Changing platforms will always somewhat inconvenient, as long as you have to rebuild your social graph else. This is maybe particularly the case on Mastodon, as you don't have a feed full of endorphin-maximizing content right off the bat.
  Making the move to Mastodon does require a minimum amount of effort. I think it's good to be open about that. :)
  What is comfortable is of course an individual consideration - personally I never felt comfortable on Twitter or Faceboook.
