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 Absolutely! A failure by SV's model (like Ello or G+) is a success by the standards of the community, and success by SV's model would be a failure for the users.
