I remember App.net with fondness. I was a paying customer and the community was awesome, pretty much entirely troll-free techie types, and I never felt awkward just jumping into a random thread or conversation.

After carefully considering a few different options, we are making the difficult decision to no longer employ any salaried employees, including founders." http://blog.app.net/ http://blog.app.net/ So effectively development stopped in 2014 and it's on maintenance mode since then.
