The difference is Mastodon is a horrible product. The UX is horrendous, yet a noticeable amount of people still left! That's how bad Twitter is! If Substack has anywhere near a decent product, Twitter will hemorrhage.
(FWIW, Mastodons issues aren't inherent, but due to very bad design decisions wrt. federation, crippling it.)
- nebula8804 4y agoMastodon is just following the long standing trend of open source software sucking from a consumer UX perspective. And as all open source trends go...all the techies adopt it but the rest of the mass market does not. Those are your "noticeable amount of people" ie, not really a long term indicator. The journalists/hollywood made a big stink about leaving Twitter but the majority slunk back and even got made fun of by the Elon stans. This network despite Twitters problems is still a huge risk preventing Substack's product from taking off.
