Which is sad IMO as Twitter - again IMNSHO - is one of the most overhyped and useless ideas there is.
I still have an account on mastodon thought and I'm far more active there than on twitter, mostly because new is interesting and to support a good cause.
I also sometimes follow development and hope that it might get more features from both Google+ or Facebook. Groups would be an obvious improvement in my book.
That way maybe it could become more than a twitter clone, which matters to me because in my opinion Twitter is close to useless except as a better way to receive spam and propaganda (it is even easier to ignore than the spam folder in my mail.)
- benplumley 7y agoI want to try Mastodon because it's open, federated, ethical etc, all the qualities I seek out in the software I run (not to mention new and interesting, like you say). But at the end of the day it's still a Twitter clone, so offers absolutely no value to me.

In the short run playing with interesting tech has its own value at least as long as it only replaces more useless stuff (I guess tv is the thing I "sacrifice" to have time for tech.)
