This social network #mastodon doesn't seem to get off the ground. There are technical shortcomings, but I guess what makes most of the difference is the missing userbase.

@lexLohr you might want to give it more than a week to grow :)
Also, it's been built by a single dev over the last four months; it's obviously not finished yet.

@zatnosk I'm not leaving yet. Actually, what I'm missing most apart from people is an open API, which is the hallmark of a good social network: the possibility to integrate it elsewhere.

@lexLohr @zatnosk go forth and (pro)create https://github.com/Gargron/mastodon/wiki/API

@Gargron you even thought of CORS headers! It'll be really simple to make different frontends for that!
