This day in 2017 - nine years ago - Mashable published an article saying that Mastodon would not survive (https://mashable.com/article/mastodon-wont-survive).

Thank goodness it was wrong.

If Mastodon, and indeed the broader fediverse, had not survived, I would not have all you fantastic, amazing, fun, interesting, and diverse people to share things and chat with.

Yes, that includes *you*!

It is a genuinely delightful social media experience, and I am incredibly grateful for it.

@neil I am also glad it persisted but there are still some real issues around discoverability here especially for people wanting the tools to do so without extensions, 3rd party apps, or whatever.

Still, it's the only social media platform I use and I don't see that changing
