Chris TrottierOn Mastodon, there's two groups of people:
1. Those who want to recreate Twitter
2. Those who want to bury Twitter, then pave over its grave
I'm of the second group.

I was a beta tester of Twitter back when it launched. Mastodon and early Twitter have a lot of similarities. I dont think the problem is the technology. The problem is the people. Once Mastodon attracts a certain number of human beings, it will become the new Twitter. Its just a matter of time.

@seanm4c Or, another possibility: as Mastodon grows, it splinters into tiny communities that DON'T scale into one giant userbase.
In fact, that's already happening.

I am actually hopeful for that Chris! I hope the decentralized nature of Mastodon will help. that is why, for now, I am all in! 🙏
But we'll see once Jane and John Doe come up in here and start sharing anti-vax memes, lol. 🤷♂️

@seanm4c Those communities exist. We just don't see them right now.
It is entirely possible that there will be a proxy arms race to disrupt de-federation. We'll see.
