Samizdata ✔ is a user on octodon.social. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
If you don't, you can sign up here.
Here's my prediction for mastodon:
* wave of new users, most will go back to twitter
* enough will stay to keep things interesting and development will proceed apace.
* Valid feedback will be iterated on. instance-independent Identity, federated search, instance migration, performance tuning and bug fixes, etc.
* As it matures, it will grow.
Ultimately, a focus on keeping the community welcoming and easing the barriers to adoption will pay off.
@chriseppstein I can only hope such happens, and I certainly hope the instance admins get the love and support they need to keep their part of the Fediverse active and in play.
