So, I think it's time someone addresses the "extinction" talk about Mastodon. As I'm in a bit of a cranky mood, I'll gladly be the one to do it. Be patient because there are a few things I wish to unpack.
Here goes. . .
1) Relatively speaking, Mastodon is still a "baby". It's just six months old and word is just now getting out. Just in the last few days, it has seen explosive growth. As is always the case, it's good to wait until there is a body before you decide to have the funeral.
@privacymatters gotta understand that people nowadays don't like new things though... think of all the remakes. This doesn't feel enough like twitter or facebook so they hate it. We love it. Let's see what happens.
