I wrote about Mastodon the other day. Here's the piece I wrote on ZDNet :

I'm impressed with its growth and stability so far. I'll be watching closely as brands try to work out how to monetize this new audience

@elementary @kdeplanet @gnome @eileenb Thanks for the correction. I was just throwing it out there. :) I wish there was autocomplete. :P

@sri Seems to autocomplete in the web instance. Apps are probably still going to take a while to catch up :)

@eileenb @elementary an excellent way to spend the time. Sadly it never stops with just one glass ;)

@eileenb @elementary regarding the issue of brand protection on Mastodon. I would say one could create a server with your brand. So say nike.mastodon would have all the Nike branded accounts. It would be very difficult to enforce otherwise. For GNOME I would propose a [email protected] for instance. Something similar can be done, with other companies
