BREAKING - Twitter has been sold to Elon Musk and will go private after agreeing to a deal worth $44 billion. pic.twitter.com/vEkGwXTDmt— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) April 25, 2022
When I saw Mastodon shoot up into the millions of users I got so excited. I've seen so many free software social networks fail before. Mastodon is the first one I ever saw really take off. It ain't perfect, but it isn't a ghost town either.
TBH, Mastodon has pretty much the same cultural problems as Twitter. Don't know if it's the format, or some kind of founder effect, or what, but it's hip deep in self-promoting radlibs.
It's 100 percent the format. There are no good posts on twitter outside of "heh that was funny" for like 30 seconds. It's also very easy to artificially pump interaction.
