Downside to Mastodon:
No one I know in real life can figure out how to use it.

Upside to Mastodon:

@ultradeb
That describes everything I use.

Until people start using it a few years later when I move on because it got bad once it got popular :P

@xtrems876 I think Mastodon is just convoluted enough to put most people off. Fingers crossed.
@ultradeb @xtrems876 we both, alas, suffer from a tribe not as brilliant as we....
@TinCanWin @ultradeb oh I didn't mean that the people themselves made it bad. I meant that large projects are bound to be more and more desensitized from their audiences due to how big they are (so you're not gonna be able to handle millions of feature requests coming in every day), and due to the fact that stakes got too high to upset anyone - be it the userbase or stakeholders.
Birsite is of course an exception because instead of being frozen by its size, it is actively destroying itself
