I really like this video but the whole thing about

"it's basically the Linux of social media and just like Linux no regular person will ever use it"

I would consider myself a regular person before I join Mastodon I saw a server I joined from a tweet and thought I would give it a try and it's been great ever since

I just don't get it this behaves exactly like Twitter

also comparing a social media platform to converting your computer to a new operating system isn't that great of a comparison

@epicEaston197 Fun fact: Google+ was hugely popular among kernel developers. That does not give a good prognosis for the success of Mastodon :-) For me it is not an issue tho because I care more about this as a productivity application than social media :-) Only social media account I've ever had has been Facebook (OK, couple of short spin offs to Twitter too) and that for the most part staying in contact with relatives.

I care exactly about Mastodon because social media madness, influencers etc. do not exist here. I'm happy that Mastodon is unpopular sort of TBH

@epicEaston197 All cool. I don't mind. It was a bit culminated statement I made :-) I don't mind growing outreach but being like it is not bad either.
