       Also this is an astonishing exchange between two of the founders of Twitter.

       @seldo The way I see it is like the Linux kernel vs other operating system kernels.Yes. They exists, but we are not competing with them. We are competing with ourselves to improve mastodon.And so it will be everywhere eventually, like Linux.

       @pthenq1 @seldo and like Linux,  people will forever think it's harder to use,  even though it's not. (Hopefully not,  but the entrenched CW makes it cool for people to think it,  which is a problem that tends to last generations)

       @qkslvrwolf @seldo Why do they think Mastodon is hard?I am genuinely asking.I saw a lot of complaints about racist content, and other no technological issues. I am not sure about the hard part though.

       @pthenq1 @seldo nothing I've seen,  technically, is any worse than any other site.It's just cool to claim it's hard.They get a fail whale,  they chuckle and come back the next day. A fedi server doesn't pull replies from another server fast enough,  and it's an unsolveable nightmare and they switch to bluesky.There is a cultural hivemind to this stuff and it's impenetrable.

       @pthenq1 @qkslvrwolf @seldo The main issue is that the federation on mastodon kills discoverability and reach. Communities are local by definition. Sure you can follow anybody but finding them is fortuitous (eg somebody you follow reposted them on your timeline) and there is no central way of discovering content. This has its great advantages but it’s not how most people want to experience social networks. So fitting their model to mastodon is hard.
