Mastodawn

OLD ACCOUNT Apr 4, 2017

reading a bunch of comments about Mastodon on tech news sites about how it "will never succeed" or will go extinct. Problem is, that defines Mastodon's success in the metrics of Silicon Valley VC. The point of Mastodon does not appear to be a growth -> exit -> brand vehicle strategy that Twitter has been struggling with.

I'm having a good time here. Isn't that success enough?

@PolymerWitch thye are freaked because libre open source success means the death of silicon valley and its stupid patents and its shitty, maniacal VCs (No offense to those wh oare actually ill), and its foolish egotistical IOT bullshit and one of the strongest pillars of sillicon valley is social media platforms and the trade of customer data.
