OLD ACCOUNTApr 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 It's also a common point of view among some new users, who seem to frame it in the same terms as a big social network needing this, needing that. 

I came to GNU Social last February and I really enjoy it. It has its ups and downs and rough edges, but that's the classic open source experience.
