You don’t need to make it that complicated, really not.
Mastodon can already be a drop-in replacement for Twitter for many use cases. The biggest hurdle are, as ever, network effects. Not infrastructure, not features.
For me personally most of the people I care about already are on Mastodon. It was a smooth transition for me personally and I don’t miss a thing. All that needs to happen is for that to be also true for you and Mastodon is a drop in replacement.
- lambic 4y agoOn a personal level this is all true, but on an infrastructure level Mastodon can only survive and grow (and remain federated) with many well managed and well funded instances.
- arrrg 4y agoI’m really not too worried about that. The biggest issue I can see developing is a Gmail-ification of Mastodon (with a lot of people being on a single instance). That would be a pity – but in terms of freedom e-mail is still pretty great.
