@l0wk3y @realcaseyrollins @shebang But it's not just ActivityPub, it's also marketing and sales. Mastodon has that part own. So many people know what Mastodon is (hundreds of thousands) and have no clue what the Fediverse is. They think Mastodon _is_ the Fediverse.
@alex @realcaseyrollins @shebang It's just activity pub. I mean anyone who want's to can create a new site or contribute.

@alex @shebang I hope you succeed! I think it's the only FE alternative that has a good enough user experience + fairly good normie appeal (by which I mean a combination of prettiness and ease of use and understandable design)

@realcaseyrollins @shebang I think people will continue to use it, but they will be using something that's stagnant and obsolete.

The best thing is has going for it at this point is name recognition and brand presence. This will keep it relevant for a long time, until one of us can take that position. I'm gonna try to.
@realcaseyrollins @shebang @alex Mastodon FE is fine. Mastodon itself is bloated and overly complicated.

@milo @moonman @igel @p Oh wow! I'm looking forward to that episode! (I no longer watch the show on unless it's and it's live, I just listen to the whole podcast now)

@shebang @alex
> Mastodon is stagnating and becoming obsolete

Interesting. so, you think people will only use software that gradually improves? I suppose this does make sense.

> As for the UI, well that runs fine in Pleroma anyway.

Interesting. So, as a FE will probably never die then

@realcaseyrollins @shebang I was trying to explain why I think Mastodon is stagnating and becoming obsolete. I speculate it's because Eugen is lacking the bravery and motivation he once had due to feeling demoralized.
@realcaseyrollins @alex @shebang When I first joined it used to push the TL down no matter where you were, that was really annoying.

@niggaflamebuttholeaids @mewmew @realcaseyrollins Oh. Then. umm.

Busshie? or how its spelt. One of them? One of mewmew’s servers lol.

I mean its his fork, surely he runs it somewhere….

@alex @shebang Huh. So people wanting to switch might be more of a culture thing than a User Experience thing? Or perhaps those are intertwined.

@shebang @realcaseyrollins I think Eugen feels demoralized that many of his users hate him. I think deep down he knows this whole "cancel culture" thing is not good, but he's too deep now to change gears. It's part of the Mastodon brand.

@gladicouldnthelp @Jdogg247 "Why can't we find a better mode of communication than text" tweets the disgruntled mentally ill manchild

@moonman Hmm...I don't think this is a good enough reason to remove romantic opportunities as a motivator for self-improvement
