Someone was arguing with me that Mastodon is going to fail. To me it is already a success even if all instances would go down tonight.
1 It's fun!!!!
2 There are so many nice people over here
3 People are more engaged, more social than on Twitter. Even though i have people i actually know irl i have had more direct interaction with people than over there this whole year.
4 No news, no angst, no complaining. Social media are important for marginalized groups to get attention, but on twitter it's getting too much for me.
5 No spying (I hope), no ads
And I'm not even comparing with FB yet...
@mfgaede first time I maxed out the 500 chars. #achievementunlocked
@koos it's decentralized and kind of like IRC to me. so what they go down, just open up some instances (servers/chat rooms)
@koos It has indeed already succeeded.
@koos Would love to hear your reasons why!
