Six reasons Mastodon won't survive

The hot new thing in social media has some big problems.

Mashable

I blogged about that last year:

To his credit, Lance Ulanoff admitted then he was wrong about fedi:

Today more time has passed since the Mastodon Won't Survive piece got published than there is left until the AI bubble pops.  

Feeling old yet? 

@rysiek it has shrunk a lot which i am sad about, but what people need to remember is that foss shit never goes away, even when you want it to 😂

@quinn I don't think growth for growth's sake is the way to go, and while it does provide *a* signal, it is not *the* signal so to speak.

I fully expect Bluesky to start enshittifying, because of course they will with their cryptocurrency bro overlords looking for payout eventually.

Meanwhile fedi is doing its thing, getting more resilient, easier to join, dealing with some long-term issues around moderation and so on. And will be there, better prepared than ever, for the next wave.

@rysiek @quinn what do you mean by payback eventually?
They will want it now if not yesterday!
