Well, on twitter I have 23k followers, but here I have 78. I'm a journalist, and it's nice to be able to reach a large and diverse audience. Will mastodon only be populated by nerds?
And while I hope it will, I have no idea if mastodon will end up being successful, or if it will end up in a pile of forgotten technology next to diaspora. It's too early to tell.

  @quincy I'm not actually planning on abandoning twitter any time soon -- it would just be awesome if mastodon could become as popular and twitter could become phased out.
  The internet is better when it's decentralized. Twitter is a large, centralized company based in the United States that meticulously tracks everything that happens on its platform, is full of ads, does behavioral tracking for ads, is a central point of failure for censorship, and users have no control over its direction.

  @moonman not much different with Twitter: your deleted posts will likely stay in user clients, twitter archives, … @lambadalambda @micahflee

  @micahflee on many !gnusocial nodes (like quitter.se, gnusocial.de) you can connect your Twitter account to your GNUsocial profile and enable cross-posting. So what you post on GNUsocial will automatically posted from your Twitter account to your Twitter followers, too.
  
  GNUsocial can also do #bidirectional Twitterbridge, so replies from Twitter users would appear in your GNUsocial timeline, so you could interact with Twitter accounts transparently. (Just because this bidirectional feature tends to impose heavy load it's usually not enabled on larger public GS instances. It's also kind-of against some Twitter term-of-use. But maybe you can find an instance that has it enabled, or create your own instance and enable that plugin.) @moonman @lambadalambda

  @micahflee @mcscx @lambadalambda @quincy You should bear in mind that evaluating Mastodon's success doesn't tell the whole story about the success of the network (GNUSocial) it operates on. The fediverse has existed quite a bit longer than Mastodon.

  @rysiek the problem of GNUsocial/Mastodon is rather: it makes easily addictive :-) @lambadalambda @micahflee @quincy

  @micahflee @mcscx @quincy @lambadalambda no doubt about it. my point is: FLOSS, federated services seem to have a way of surviving a phase of "normal people" losing interest to resurface later.
  On the other hand, FLOSS, federated services need *content* to bring in more users and break the #WalledGardens monolopy. That's why the current #Mastodon run is important to me.

  @micahflee @mcscx @quincy @lambadalambda or, to put it differently, I do not thing Ello could make such a return, ever. Not because it didn't have the shiny UI, but precisely because it had nothing but (still centralized, proprietary, etc).

  @dogjaw @lambadalambda @mcscx @micahflee @quincy I'm not so sure about that.
