@rysiek
Almost funny how years later Mastodon is alive and well, while anything else on the web is increasingly drowning in slop.

@rysiek 6 reasons:
1. dumb name
2. i dont get what federated means
3. dumb name
4. i dont know how handles work
5. valid concern
6. valid concern

@revengeday I will say he admitted he was wrong, here on fed, last year under my thread about it:

[rysiek@mstdn.social]

I blogged about that last year:

To his credit, Lance Ulanoff admitted then he was wrong about fedi:

@rysiek Oh lol, respect+

@rysiek oh I’ve been here for nine years? Damn time flies.

@MarkAssPandi @rysiek The apps one is kinda strange though. Half of it's kinda valid ("no one knows how many instances there are and there's no list"), but just the fact that there's more stores than the official one? That's just weird (and deliberately forgetting the plethora of twitter apps there used to be before they shut that possibility down).

Today more time has passed since the Mastodon Won't Survive piece got published than there is left until the AI bubble pops.

Feeling old yet?

@rysiek reading this article gave me a brain aneurysm

[sturmsucht@mastodon.social]

@rysiek best in this article is the missing tweet from twitter.com

[xinit@mastodon.coffee]

@rysiek
John Mastodon brought me a rumpled paper bag full of chocolate-style ovoids! He also ate all the leftovers in my fridge and rifled through my closets, but you take the good, you take the bad.

[rysiek@mstdn.social]

@sturmsucht yes, this is truly what brings it up a notch, from great to glorious.

@rysiek
"This is no BlueSky"

Said like it's a bad thing to not be scraping everything for ai, or to be beholden to crypto bros.

@rysiek I was going to say «I would not read it, but I didn't... sorry, I just read the headers XD XD and noooow, I will retut it

@revengeday

[nblr@chaos.social]

@rysiek lol. Didn't have to read beyond "I signed up primarily to protect my name."
Yeah, uhm. Good to be here. Not missing those people.

[djgummikuh@mastodon.social]

@rysiek I'm laughing WAY more than I should

[nemo@mas.to]

@rysiek

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even twitter may died.

@mxchara @rysiek at least we have George Takei

[driftini@wetdry.world]

@rysiek the thing is fedi is just not comparable to twitter, no wonder one loses when held to the standards of the other

you go to one social or the other for different reasons, I believe fedi excels at less but better connections and conversations, while twitter is the instant winner when it comes to keeping up to date with higher profile people (non-indie music artists and such) or generally what's hot on the internet at a given time

I am not considering twitter's ideological issues here cause they're a recent problem that's not intrinsic to the platform I feel

[sexybenfranklin@smores.town]

@rysiek what if Mastodon didn't survive and this is all limbo?
