       Someone said "is that still a thing?" when I announced I was on Mastodon. Is it?Boost this so we actually get a few votes maybe? How far can it go?

       @revk I'm pretty sure CNN said it didn't exist.

       @revk Not only is it still a thing, its going to be around long after Facebook and Twitter are nothing but dust. The federation will be the thing that will keep it going for many years to come.

       @revk Maybe another option - "doing just fine, why grow?"

       @nigeldgreen @revk because it's not true alternative if it has no reach.

       @funnypanja @revk I don't know, I think the power of Mastodon as an alternative is that it is smaller. It already has reach, but (joyfully) doesn't suffer from the problems that scale brings.

       @funnypanja @revk The arrival of celebrity, monetisation, all the hate that comes with a massively-scaled communication platform.The benefit of Mastodon is that it doesn't have to be large. What has to scale is the adoption of federated communication protocols, the platforms themselves benefit from keeping small (in my opinion).

       @nigeldgreen @revk those issues all come from a lack of moderation and good guide lines, not increased size.

       @funnypanja @revk I don't agree. But it's my second point that's the main thrust of the argument.
