I asked around so-called influencers why they were not on #Mastodon . Here are the most common replies:

1) We can't go viral on Mastodon (read as we can't game the system because humans only boost good stuff)

2) They want a algo driven system (why do you want to see angry posts all day & night?)

3) You can't make money on Mastodon (WTF that even mean?)

4) It is way too technical & confusing. Which server to join? WTF is the server?

Only the last one is valid. The rest are all lazy reasons.

@nixCraft the last one isnt even valid, just go onto mastodon.social or host a basic mastodon server by reading the simple docs
the server is really just a domain, nothing more unless you wanna learn different AP server software
maybe im too much of a nerd and thats why this is simple stuff to me... yeah that makes sense actually

@nova @nixCraft I'm sorry, but "or host a basic mastodon server by reading the simple docs" definitely gave you the answer to if you're too much of a nerd 😆
