@fribbledom Interestingly, if you apply the same logic then email was "doomed to fail" as well. Yet for business it's still *the* prevalent form of communication online. Less so for private individuals, now we have Signal, WhatsApp, etc. I have hope, in a World that's waking up to what surveillance capitalism really means, that the idea of running your own Twitter, or being on a Twitter you trust, will appeal more and more to "normal people". 😊

Wow. This toot apparently prompted several dozen of you to unfollow me 😆Good riddance!To the rest of you:Thanks for actually reading the article instead of falling for that headline, not noticing the inverted commas, and then jumping to conclusions! You people are why I love the Fediverse so much 😊

@fribbledom really good article^^tbh i'm kinda happy that fedi isn't becoming mainstream. cause if fedi should get mainstream, its nowhere better than twitter (ads ads ads, trackers ads, did i say ads? oh yeah and big cooperations and their rules)i'm really happy about the current fedi, could be better ("blockthreads"...) but yeah at least we have more freedom here ^^

Well, they say the same about email these days.Get Office 365 or G-Suite! You can't handle your mail yourself. It is boring, expensive and doomed to fail! Use nice clouds maintained by professionals.

@fribbledom you can’t talk of failure before of defining failure. Nevertheless, the definition of “failure” I foresee in this post would sound so ridiculous, the post would die….

@fribbledom didn't read, but i bet it says something along the lines of "technology can't fix society problems"and that's right

@BrokenBiscuit @fribbledom You are thinking about a different article. :) This is a freshly written article by @eloquence, and if you take a good look at the title, you'll see that it's actually saying the exact opposite of what the article you're thinking of was saying.Or better yet, just take a few minutes to read it. It's worth it. Will brighten your day, trust me. :)

@fribbledom Wow, unfollowing someone because of one single toot that they didn't even bother to double-check?Well, I suppose I'll just have to follow you then, to try to balance it out!

@Mayana Ah I saw the "Why mastodon is failing" line and remembered the article from I think either ars techinica or verge, predicting its downfall

@BrokenBiscuit I've read that article, too. And I agree it was pretty funny. But it didn't have any inverted commas in the title. ;)

@scully @fribbledom This is actually one of the things wrong with mainstream news sites. News headlines are written by an editor, who probably only skimmed the article. They often miss the central point or an important nuance. Most people only read headlines and therefore have a distorted view of current events.

@fribbledom IMO, I don't think the Fediverse will ever gain mainstream attention until it is utilized by governments. However, for me, I see it as potentially useful in creating a platform whose ideas, values and norms differ from the status quo and the social pressures that come from Twitter.For example, what articles they choose to highlight, their framing of stories, that sorta.

@shuro @fribbledom My bad, s/standard/system ... it's an open SYSTEM. Anyone can join in. Sure, there's G Suite, MS, etc. But people are also free to choose ProtonMail, for example, and many do. Or you could run your own mail server. All of which is not possible if you want to participate on Facebook without using their API/website. I'm not sure where you're going with this? Gmail exists, so Mastodon must fail?

@fribbledom Good article. But ironically enough, part of it does "belittle, ignore, and misunderstand" people:> The revolution will not be right back After a message about a white tornado White lightning, or white peopleDoes anyone know of a similar article I can use to evangelize fedi?

@s_ol In our modern typography W looks more like a double V, but all three letters (U, V, W) evolved from the same Semitic sign.So, no, I have no problem calling that letter a "double U".

@fribbledom Good article. I feel that Fediverse's ambition lies in making social media like water and air, that must not be judged by how much money it generates, but by how much digital connections are enabled organically without manipulations. Having said that, I still wish someday I'll earn enough to be able to donate a part of it to its team for their vision and perseverance.

@fribbledom Even if there were no inverted commas.. I'd think it's silly to unfollow someone just because of different opinions. If everyone agrees on everything, there's no new to be learnt in the world.
