The best thing that could ever happen to Mastodon is if someone, someday builds a great instance coupled with a great client and hardly anyone cares that it's built on Mastodon.
If that where to happen it would be the moment that Mastodon fulfills its true potential. #mastodon#fediverse
The problem with Mastodon is that it's software not a service. That's where all the confusion starts. @Gargron shouldve called the flagship instance something completely different. [insert platform name here] built on Mastodon. But of course hindsight is 20/20 and no one could've predicted the great migration. Perhaps people would've joined a Mastodon site as they previously browsed web sites? #mastodon#fediverse
I talk about the #fediverse in this episode of Technically Optimistic, a terrific podcast by Raffi Krikorian and Emerson Collective. The topic: How to Save Social Media
