NolanTech journalists on Mastodon: "Mastodon Inc only has 50,000 users, but with adequate venture capital funding it may stand a chance"
More tech journalism on Mastodon: "Mastodon is currently a free service, but soon it will bend to the iron will of Silicon Valley, which is that you either sell out to investors or become irrelevant like Wikipedia."
Still more tech journalism on Mastodon: "Mastodon cannot survive with such a silly name. It needs a more serious and business-friendly name, such as Google, Yahoo, or Hulu."
ink slinger@nolan Haha! Totally this. I don't understand why so many people are complaining about the name. As if Twitter (originally planned to be Twittr, as per the vowel-dropping that was popular at the time) is a brilliant name that didn't sound stupid before it became ubiquitous.
