To be successful in Germany, Mastodon needs to change his name first. It just sounds disgusting to my ears. Similar like the German word "Mastdarm". SCNR

- mcv 4y agoI think it was originally created by a German and is reasonably big in Germany.
- wccrawford 4y agoAs an American, "Mastodon" brings to mind an image of huge, lumbering animal with no a lot of brain power. It just trudges along, mindlessly. That is not a great mental image for your product unless you're selling a bulldozer.
- mxuribe 4y agoMastodon was in fact created by a German developer (named Eugen Rochko), though on the fediverse he goes by Gargron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software) As to whether Mastodon has been successful in Germany (or any other specific country), there could be online sites that track rough estimates regionally. I do recall Japan really embracing things...but not sure if they embraced any stack on the fediverse, or if it was mastodon specifically. But, yeah, Japan is an example of at least one country that dove deep in early on. The main "signup" website has such a tracker of servers (the term "instances" is more often used), but these stats should only be thought of as rough estimates...because, you know, federation: https://joinmastodon.org/servers https://joinmastodon.org/servers
