Tech 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."

@nolan I know you understand it already but I wanted to voice my opinion, that's why I'm replying to you.

When something is community driven it doesn't matter that the name is "silly". Because there is no financial motivation behind it.

Btw, what about "Twitter" for a social network name. Or LinkedIn. That last one might be a "good" name, but nobody is using it 😂
