Mastodon has a strong hipster-like community which views Mastodon cool only if not everyone can have it. Thus they want to keep it niche and not mainstream.
But the future is decentralized protocols for social and this future will happen regardless.
I like Mastodon but the exclusive hipster mentality isn’t great.
- ipaddr 3y agoThe hipster community is what made it possible. It encourages a separate community and provides the fuel to create something without doing it for money. The non-hipster population is much larger but hasn't created a decentralized community.
