Happy ninth Mastodon Won't Survive Day to all who celebrate!
https://mashable.com/article/mastodon-wont-survive@rysiek I remember well using it in it's beginnings. But I gave up because I could only find tech nerds at that time instead of Gene Roddenberry.
When I came back years later, the audience fortunately had widened. -

Unfashionable take, but I really liked G+ (in the early days, before the mandatory YouTube disaster).
I got in as part of the first wave of general public users, courtesy of an invite from a friend who worked for Google.Woz was on it, and I found a lot of interesting music there (that wasn't being pushed anywhere else).
It (unsurprisingly) went to shit after they added the mandatory requirement to have a G+ account to add comments on YouTube videos.
@dec23k @rysiek @chrisp
The funny thing about Google+ was that it was shut down in order to cover up a rather nasty security breach.
I only know this because @hipsterelectron mentioned it -
@rysiek I love Mastodon, but the term "toot" is still ridiculous and reminds me of farting. I had wished "verse" (as in Metaverse) was the choice for posting something, and if someone reposts it, it would be a re-verse. Which would have been a clever word trick
@dhinojosa
If you can post verse, you can post prose. So maybe Fediverse posts should be called "Prosts" instead of toots or verses?
Nah, "verses" is better.

https://mashable.com/article/mastodon-wont-survive@rysiek Glad he took being wrong in good spirits but man, this article is super obnoxious. And NGL, I will never lose sleep over William Shatner not being able to find me on mastodon. Now if it were maybe Chris Pine...

https://mashable.com/article/mastodon-wont-surviveWelp, he was wrong about Mastodon fizzling out in two weeks, but the one thing he wasn't wrong about was Mastodon growing stagnant. Mastodon's sat at the same active user counts for a while and it's plateau'd. The platform hasn't seen any significant growth since the 2022 Twitter exodus, and though growth obviously isn't everything, Mastodon remains relatively niche.
Still, funny reading about this dude just having a massive skill-issue with using Mastodon.

Well, the breech probably happened because Google dropped all investment in it. So, it's all sort of the same thing, I'm sure. -
