It's amazing Mastodon is still so utterly disaster. Where are all the startups? Why is making Twitter clone so hard?
- jacquesm 4y agoMaking a Twitter clone is probably moderately hard. Doing so in a decentralized way is very hard.
- macintux 4y agoWhy would anyone fund a startup to reproduce something that’s already wildly popular and successful and still not producing a great ROI? Twitter is hard enough technically, but the global compliance/regulatory challenges must be daunting.
- arlcode 4y agoI have a feeling that Twitter could be politically important enough to have one or more governments reign them in unless Musk manages to calm things down or drive it into the ground. The smartest thing he could do is find some pretext to remove his public persona from the daily operations. He's clearly in over his head (micro managing policy etc) and business sense alone should tell him that.
- jug 4y agoPost.news and t2.social are two startups under way
- timeon 4y ago> Where are all the startups? Before: Twitter was everywhere - any clone would fail. Now: Twitter is still everywhere. Seems like drug for journalists.
- kzrdude 4y agoMastodon is not really a twitter clone, there's a lot of features they disagree with and don't want.
