Twitter is not going anywhere anytime soon; there is no replacement. Mastodon does not fit the needs of the millions of users using the platform daily. I believe that Twitter will terraform what we think of as social media, and with that, a new way of communication will emerge
- CharlesW 4y ago> Twitter is not going anywhere anytime soon; there is no replacement. Not yet. You're right that Mastodon is not ready for the masses, which makes me wonder if federated systems can ever have mainstream appeal.
- Ciantic 4y agoI don't think masses care about federation, they care about ease of use, features and community. Same reason masses register for any service really. Currently biggest problem is ease of registering: Suggested way to register is through joinmastodon.org and it's pretty complicated. If mastodon.social could handle the influx, they'd open up registration from that site which is much easier way to register.

- lapcat 4y agoThe author isn't looking for a replacement. "I'm emotionally detaching myself from social media" "I have no idea what will come next. And if I'm honest about it, I think I don't actually care. Every day that passes I seem to care less and I’m resenting more the distractions and the checking of who said what." "I do have a natural instinct to just quickly Tweet what’s on my mind. Partly I need to refrain myself from doing that" "On your death bed, will you wish you had tweeted more? Not me." "I got an invite and set up an account on Post, but honestly, I can’t be bothered. The same goes for Mastadon [sic]"
