Twitter Co-Founder @biz just endorsed Mastodon!

In a Guardian interview, he said:

“I don’t know that Twitter as a company is going to succeed for ever but the idea of Twitter I think will be around [indicating Mastodon].

"It would only matter that Twitter the idea continued. And that’s happened. That seems to be happening already. Mastodon seems to be winning the open-source, decentralised version of Twitter. People seem to be going there."

@atomicpoet A funny thing is that most of the idea of Twitter came from paving the cow paths of users early on, so I guess the idea goes on with the users regardless?

@lmorchard @atomicpoet best part now is that it's open source -- mastodon will outlive us all at this point
