Yeah, I'm hoping he's wrong, but this good analysis. Count me in as among those who actively does want Mastodon to be the new Twitter. Its becoming increasingly clear to me that a hugely scaled microblogging platform is important (if not essential) to world discourse and democracy, and that a federated platform is probably the long term best, if not easiest, way to do it. Honestly, the bit that kind of baffles me is the extent to which big companies don't seem to realize that this solves potential "Eli Lilly" problems. This shouldn't be too hard to explain either. "Hey, you know how you can own your email and your website? You can do that too with something like twitter if everyone starts using Mastodon. You should throw some money at a server to do that."
