Pete Prodoehl 🍕People who are like "The migration to Mastodon has failed!"
No it hasn't. I literally migrated to Mastodon from Twitter, and I don't use Twitter anymore, but I do use Mastodon every day.
I call that a successful migration.
jrm4@rasterweb It hasn't failed, but it hasn't succeeded.
As I've said elsewhere -- I do believe Mastodon achieving something like *world domination* is actually very important; more important than a few of you finding a happy place (which is fine, but doesn't require Mastodon)
The *purpose* of the protocol is to be huge; and if there's always going to be a huge thing, it should be on THIS model, not owned.
@jrm4 What if "huge" means large corporations take it over and extinguish it?
@rasterweb Weird question.
That's like asking if democracy is bad because voters can be influenced by corporations.
Yes, it's a danger -- but the *literal point* of the protocol is to attempt to prevent it. This is the battle Mastodon was designed to fight.
