countdown to someone trying to monetize mastodon 1...2 .......3

Was, wenn das hier doch das nächste Twitter wird und man dann wieder jahrelang mit dem banalen Unfug leben muss, den man in seinem allerersten Beitrag geschrieben hat?

Phases of techies arriving here:

* "Hello!"
* comments on the terminology
* "huh, this-and-this doesn't work?"
* "so I have this great idea of how to make Mastodon better..."
* "this is so wonderful it's like the old days of the internet"
* "omg omg it won't scale let's rewrite it in..."
* "which instance should I move to"

I expect these ones soon:

* "I wonder if it will stay this nice after everyone joins"
* "the early days of Mastodon were so much better"

I hear you saying Trump's presidency is failing really fast now. It sounds exactly as convincing and plausible as it did when you said he cannot possibly win the election.

Okay, with another influx of new people, here is again my article "Welcome to Mastodon: Here is what's different and why it's better" medium.com/@Gargron/welcome-to (I am working on a better in-UI onboarding process)
