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

@eileenb welcome. :) Please follow @GNOME, @KDE, @elementary and others for your open source/free software desktop news :)
@sri @eileenb Looks like your links should be to @gnome and @kdeplanet maybe :)
@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 :)
@elementary I'm using firefox.. oh I see the issue, it's really slow. :D
