Six reasons Mastodon won't survive

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

@rysiek "William Shatner couldn't find me on Mastodon. This was a problem." oh is it
@mxchara @rysiek at least we have George Takei 😬😬😬

@RoyHorace @mxchara @rysiek

I think its George Takei's social media team rather than him directly, but one thing I've noticed since 2017 is whilst I was initially one of the oldest on my Fedi group, now there are *many* folk on Fedi easily old enough to be my parents (and I'm 54!) and a lot who aren't from tech backgrounds, which shows the network has become accessible and usable for older people..

@vfrmedia @RoyHorace @mxchara @rysiek
I suppose that includes me.
I'm 71 and although I have worked extensively with computers during my career, IT was never part of my core job.

I do have a very early paper published where I'm a joint author on the development of an HTML 'database' which I'm proud to say has now morphed into a fully maintained international web resource.
Does that make me techie? 🤔😁
