Alternate Twitter apps were so popular Twitter had to close off their API just to get people onto the official one.

I think we should all celebrate by tooting "Toot!" at his mastodon.social account.

Fair, but we all knew they were going to have to bring VC money in. Even in the early days of Twitter, it was pretty obvious to many that there needed to be a way to generate revenue to pay for infrastructure and salaries. Monetize or die, more or less.

On one hand the chief complaint of Mastodon for him and for many is also its biggest feature. By its very nature Mastodon has no reason to ever “die”. It has no stakeholders no profit margins no business to keep a float. If someone just one person is willing to keep a server running In their basement forever with Mastodon on it. Mastodon will live for ever.

The gist of argument in my view ? Or what I see is the argument; is that Mastodon will never outgrow Twitter or X. And I agree, it won’t. Mastodon GMBH essentially guaranteed that by killing the ability to find other servers while using their servers.

I am done caring if Mastodon grows to billions. If people don’t want to put in a little work and see something amazing. That’s their problem ! Mastodon has plenty of interesting funny people who toot everyday. And that’s more than enough for me

The article itself is douchey as I imagine the author of it Is. But I think the argument is won that Mastodon will not achieve mainstream. My argument is that doesn’t matter.

I've seen people say that about BS accounts. Just signing up to protect my brand! Like copycat accounts are concerned about accuracy in account impersonations. They'll let some celeb have their real "protected" account of @johnsmith on BS and just use @johrsrn1th to ask people for iTunes gift cards.
