"Mastodon brought a protocol to a product fight"
> Yes, yes, the network is under immense strain as people flee the Elon strain infecting Twitter. But come on, there are folks who really believe this is going to replace, or even stand alongside Twitter, as a massively scaled social network? I call bullshit. While it’s impressive that millions of users have apparently given Mastodon a try, the product is far too slapdash and clunky to keep folks engaged. A lump of coal.
No, it isn't meant to be a #Twitter replacement. Keep your Twitter account until you no longer want it--or the company closes and the site shuts down--you can use Mastodon alongside Twitter.
And the #Fediverse networks are much more than just #Mastodon. Don't think you have experienced the network and all it has to offer if all you've done is briefly tried to use Mastodon, because you haven't experienced it.
> I’ve somehow avoided signing up for the service up until now. Largely because signing up was and is so comically obtuse — pick your server everyone, hope you choose wisely!
Have you not used e-mail? It works the same way. You pick a server, such as Gmail or Outlook dot com, and sign up. Please tell me you realize that the people you communicate with are not all on the same e-mail service that you use.
> But, but, it’s not a product, it’s a protocol. Yeah, that’s a nice thing to say. And to believe in. But I truly believe the ship has sadly sailed for such idealism in this space. Jack Dorsey can talk about how this should have been what Twitter was from the get go until he’s bluesky in the face. It’s just not going to happen. And he’s more to blame for that than most everyone else. As is he for the Elon element of this current equation. But that’s a different story.
Okay, so how about this story: Twitter has only been profitable two or three years of its entire history. Since it started, it has existed by burning through investors' funds. Eventually, with or without Elon Musk's ownership, that runs out. Without such funding, their corporate-centralized ( #corpocentric ) model cannot exist very long. And same for their centralized competitors, such as Post.news, Gab, Parler, and so on. What is left is either #federated or #peer-to-peer approaches, where no single entity is responsible for funding and managing the entire network. So whether it is the #Fediverse ( with #ActivityPub and #OStatus and their successors ) & the Federation ( with #Diaspora ) or #Bluesky, or #Twister, or #NOSTR, the eventual future of #socnets is #decentralized, if not entirely peer-to-peer unless a national government takes over Facebook and Twitter in order to provide effectively unlimited resources. It is the protocol that makes it possible for thousands or millions of instances to displace and replace one big centralized instance.

@vegos OK, I downloaded a client app (Vertigo?) and I'll check out #Twister next week -

Is there a list of all these types of communication services? Blockchain messaging like #Steemit, #Twister; Microblogging like !GNUsocial; Multi-media social networks like #Diaspora, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, &c? Thinking of !FS solutions only, of course. -

@arunisaac No, blockchain "social" media such as #Twister is doomed by design. But something else probably will kill it. -

Visited my twitter as i’m occasionally/rarely known to do these days (being on #twister and !gnusocial is far more sane). WTF, twitter?

This. ♻ @lnxw48: I'm not going to join a #Google group nor log into #Github in order to comment on the discussions around this. #Twister really needs a non #corpocentric place for metadiscussion (discussion about Twister). #DecentraLife -

@zoowar I suspect #Twister will relaunch from scratch once bugs are fixed. -

@postblue @vinilox I suspect that #Twister will have to re-launch once they've fixed the vulns being attacked. Name may come back then. -

@boneidol Perhaps #twister is not really ready for general use, even by advanced tech users. Seems to have many severe issues right now. -

@erkanyilmaz Does the #Twister #blockchain consist of all messages successfully sent? If yes, then it might grow rather large.
