Fuck Elmo but I just don't want Meta to replace Twitter's social media niche. I would prefer if Mastodon would be the next "Twitter" but at this point I would be okay with Bluesky too. The Meta cancer is already big enough and has too much influence.
I'd rather have a moderated site replace Twitter at this point, even if it's run by Meta. My first choice is for an intuitive non-Meta alternative to rise to prominence, ideally in the fediverse, but I think Mastodon had its chance and its unintuitive nature was too challenging for a critical mass of lay people. It needs to be: sign up, start posting. Instead it's: sign up, choose your server. Huh? You're already losing people.
All this has already been covered but it has to be simple and intuitive and that's what Threads is offering and Mastodon isn't.
Exactly this. Anything too challenging for a third-, grader is done before it starts in terms of mass acceptance.
I think everyone in the ActivityPub hopes Mastodon is the next Twitter but other than that, it's a tie between the all three. I think Bluesky has the best chance since it has the cleanest plate but it'll absolute turn into a shit hole like the rest.
Cohost would be cool.
yeah people are giving too much power to a single company.
Would you happen to have an invite code?
Yeah and one for a friend too?
