"To understand the future of Mastodon, we have to understand network effects...a product or service that gets more valuable as it attracts new users.

The people who stay...make it a busier, more exciting place...the next surge will find an even higher equilibrium as users who try Mastodon find more fully acclimated users who can hold their hands as they get settled in, and also provide the vibrant community that presents a good reason for doing so."

3/3 from @pluralistic:

"Meanwhile, the experience of the Fediverse will only get better and more obviously valuable to users. #Fediverse developers will continuously improve the service, even as the technical concepts one has to master to establish oneself become more widely understood and less esoteric."

@thisismissem @tchambers @pluralistic I've got some perhaps surprising news for this writer if he thinks sex workers aren't on Twitter.
