Mastodon Is Doomed

As is always the case with a statement like this, a lot depends on what you mean by 'doomed'. Here 'doomed' seems to mean something like 'will not scale' or 'not the poster child of the fediverse' or 'not monetized and widely circulated as a singe user app'. And yeah - I agree with all the criticisms of Mastodon (especially the bit about using Ruby and Postgres). And maybe the majority of people would prefer something that is not Mastodon. It doesn't matter - and I think even Justin Garrison agrees. "Mastodon will continue as a niche community and it will have lots of happy users." That's all most of us wanted. That's all most of us need. Via Reddit.
