@aral @Gargron The question is, what will Mastodon do what GNU Social couldn't?

@desikn Well, it got me using it. And a lot of other people who couldn’t even be bothered to jump through the hoops required by other clients.

Real test will be: how seamless can the experience of getting up and running with your own instance be made? Goal isn't to scale mastodon.social but to scale # instances. This, however, in an awesome set of training wheels with beautiful defaults.

@aral @desikn @Gargron Seems like you'd need something of a hub so people can have a central place to log onto, like with irc networks.
