So, is mastodon like twitter or ello? What is the USP?
@cadem what is USP?
@MightyPork unique selling proposition. :) Basically, what is the thing that makes it stand out. What is the reason that we should all start using it.
@cadem ohh ok.. I don't think we should all start using it :P
But
- no built-in advertising
- hard to keep brand identity = unappealing to the likes of mcdonalds, microsoft
- possibly resilient to DDOS etc thanks to the decentralization
- not selling your metadata (or at least not built around that very premise)
- the elephant is cute af
@MightyPork @cadem it seams to have everything to become the next social. Social closed environments, common interest groups. It could be a little bit more reachable... :) #communities

@dekimca @MightyPork But it's interesting even if it's not the "next big social" :)

A community. Not the new Twitter.
