reading a bunch of comments about Mastodon on tech news sites about how it "will never succeed" or will go extinct. Problem is, that defines Mastodon's success in the metrics of Silicon Valley VC. The point of Mastodon does not appear to be a growth -> exit -> brand vehicle strategy that Twitter has been struggling with.
I'm having a good time here. Isn't that success enough?
@PolymerWitch Mastodon being decentralized means that even after an initial boom dies down, there will still be diehard users keeping the service alive. It's hard to think dollars and cents when that's not the goal of the project in the first place, and that's the trap most media falls into I think.
