   @mk I think that entire article has it wrong. User base growth is the wrong metric for success. Heck, even financial growth is the wrong metric for success. Look at most !GNUsocial instances, successful without any revenue at all. Of course, …

     @ostfriese Oh - this term isn't reserved for bank crashes. When 300 million accounts are used to this service there must be a very very big problem when they all are willing to leave it - and I really hope that these 300 million  accounts don't switch to !gnusocial

     @simsa0 First point: That is not true. You can start a queet at any time with any topic Second point: It's really no complex - but it is not Twitter - so you have to uncerstand the difference. If you think !Gnusocial is Twitter, you are…

     As long as they set up their own instances I welcome all 300 million users of #Twitter to !GNUsocial

     @bobjonkman2 I especially like https://rainbowdash.net as an example of the larger diversity than just the !foss community using !gnusocial (or in their case actually StatusNet)

     @nds Indeed they do. They're a pretty long-lived community! From the identi.ca days before the pumpocalypse even.

     It's my server that's having trouble. My !GNUsocial instance is merely a victim.

     @simsa0 2) In the early days I too got frustrated by my lack of technical skills and hearing what the others discuss here about !GNUsocial itself. They were having a good time figuring out how to fix various issues and developing the future !fe…

     @simsa0 !GNUsocial has complex usability? What are you smoking? It's the same as twitter, +extra features; it even uses the same client apps

     @simsa0 1) !Gnusocial is the technical platform. The content is given by users. So when "poetry, dance" isn't discussed further, this is really not the fault of !gnusocial. Politics and religion are not very good topics for social media…

     @simsa0 1) Again: !gnusocial is made and supported by volunteers - they spend their time to develop, to maintain and to fix the software. 2) They respond quickly to questions and reports - they are very helpful and bugs are fixed quickl…
