6. While the nerds and enthusiasts
are on their way out, the first media people rush in to report on this "exciting new phenomenon".
7. When the last nerd or enthusiast has slammed the door shut, politicians and businesspeople rush in because they "just discovered an exciting new marketing/public relations platform".

Why does Mastodon, or this instance, ask for my status message using the following words: "Skoros iksis va aōha ribazma?" Interestingly, Google Translate claims it's Hawaiian, but cannot translate it. I doubt that it's Hawaiian anyway, there are far too many consonants in it.
Mastodon (or any new Twitter-style microblogging service) goes through Twitter's evolution much faster and with much smaller absolute numbers:
1. There are just a few nerds and enthusiasts
2. The trolls rush in
3. Pr0n spam rushes in
4. The Nazis rush in
5. The nerds and enthusiasts continue their quest for a better place
