So when twitter actually dies will people finally start using mastodon then? Or they too eager to use another billionaire owned social media and migrate to threads?
I’m going to invent the perfect social media system where you type a comment and then a bunch of LLMs just argue with you forever and nobody has to read anybody else’s stupid bullshit.
You forgot the most important part? You need to have notifications pop up every 15 mins so you get a dopamine hit for checking how many bots liked your devastating own of another bot in an argument.
They’re already going to threads or bluesky if they’re able. Honestly though? I don’t think we want THAT many people flooding the fediverse. There’s already a bunch of accounts here that exist only to troll or have bad takes.
Not to mention that one of the most active instances is pretty much just open information warfare at this point. .ml has become a complete dumpster fire
Hey now! I already created my own fediverse servers in Panama and registered to a local domain provider down there and am behind 7 proxy’s at all times for my Shit Posting aS a Service or SPASS as it’s commonly called. You can’t take that away from us!
All joking aside I hope you’re wrong but it’s probably gonna go that way. Really want Mastodon to take off here
if you didn’t learn anything in school, Mastodon might sound stupid. You might confused it with a Mammoth but you’d be a fool to think it was anything other than awesome. Like the war elephants in LotR

Bluesky is pretty allright but it’s poorly built lol
No they won’t. The federation system like it’s currently implemented will never be mainstream.
You literally can’t know that and are just being unnecessarily cynical.
Can you think of a single open source, open community spcial platform that has gained anything more than early adopter adoption?
Mastodon has a terrible name that sounds like masturbate
There is no charismatic leader
There is no method to advertise on the platform, so the platform will suffer from no commercial incentives or correlation (e.g. find us on Twitter)
It’s confusing to the vast majority of people that you can join from more than one location
There are other platforms that do the same thing, why this one?

I mean a mastodon is essentially a mammoth just with a bit more heavy metal mixed in.
The second one, a number of people that I follow are going to blue sky, they learned nothing.
The crazies might stick with Truth Social 100% rather than 50/50 with Twitter
