Mastodon has a very good chance of becoming the next G+ but only a very small change of becoming the new twitter. I think.

The servers just need to recover very quickly before people give up. We're talking about tens of hours, not days until the opportunity passes.

To give this a bit context, I still miss the indepth, friendly and knowledgeable discussions of G+. At the same time I know it was a network only for quite limited crowd. Niche. A social network for Android developers. I'd like to have that back. Discussions without marketing and politics.

@Lehtimaeki Google+ was a great product that was made at the wrong company. It's was amazing social network for people who didn't want to be yelled at by random drunk strangers.

Unfortunately as such it couldn't make any shareholders happy.
