Six reasons Mastodon won't survive

The hot new thing in social media has some big problems.

I think its George Takei's social media team rather than him directly, but one thing I've noticed since 2017 is whilst I was initially one of the oldest on my Fedi group, now there are *many* folk on Fedi easily old enough to be my parents (and I'm 54!) and a lot who aren't from tech backgrounds, which shows the network has become accessible and usable for older people..

For all the talk of high-tech warfare, AI-targeting & drones as transformative of battle(s) it will not have escaped your notice that Iran has caused the maximum amount of global disruption (surely one of they clear defensive aims) by the simple expedient of mining the Strait of Hormuz (mines, of course, being a naval war technology of some history).

Whatever you think of Iran, they've managed this part of their defence pretty well & outfoxed the Tangerine Tyrant!

Support Ahmad Naim & family

I want to tell you about an amazing man who was the absolute centre of his family, who always stepped up to help anyone in need. His name was Mohammed Hussein Naim - the man in the second photo wearing a baseball cap. You probably won't have heard of him, or his countless acts of kindness and bravery - like when his cousin Basel was given 0% chance of survival after a missile strike in May 2025. Mohammed Hussein spent alternate nights at Basel's bedside to provide physical and emotional support to the family as Basel defied all expectations and survived.

Bass Rock seen from the superb beach at Seacliff in East Lothian, a place that comes complete with a ruined castle and a contender for the title of Scotland's smallest harbour. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/northberwick/seacliff/index.html

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Sunday. MrsD is still in the Cairngorms wandering, so as today is Easter Sunday (pagan festival to celebrate the return of spring) I shall be cleaning, looking after Wesley, and book writing if I have time left.

Enjoy your Sunday. Have fun, laughs, chocolate bunnies, chicks and eggs to excess. Take care

Today's photo is from December last year, in Elgin. Stumpy gets taken over by the fun guys!
