LIR: mandy. I read about Mastadon last night

Posted by oblique, SuperFeud Champion (aka kkuphal) Apr 5 '17, 09:07

seems destined to fail like that facebook open source thing that tried a few years ago

Responses:

I think it might work for niche groups, if I'm understanding "instances" correctly. I would participate in a librarian instance. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 09:09 3
- Hard to see what role it fills beyond existing tools -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Apr 5, 09:34 2
  - Twitter is a bit polluted, though. Plus the character limit is more generous at Mastodon. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 09:41 1
    - it'll never grow just base on social funding. Server requirements will kill it -- nm - decline Apr 5, 09:43
oh for sure. I signed up though because we don't want a repeat of the snapchat fiasco -- I didn't sign up and now whatmary is porn. -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 5, 09:08 4
- What's your instance? I'm in aleph.land, username marabrarian. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 09:11 3
  - tchncs.de -- I just picked the first one. like pokemon go, though, I am now starting to see the value of being in the same instance as your friends. -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 5, 09:12 2
    - I'm going to see if I can join a second instance with the same username and password. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 09:15 1
      - Crap, it looked like it would work, but the confirmation email never arrived. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 09:27
