@skoll @hakui heh, looks like ED accepted @dogjaw's article. How did I miss this? :P https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/GNU_Social
- Stephen Michael Kellat repeated this.

@fl0wn @hakui @dogjaw @skoll
"GNU social (formerly statusnet) is a failed twitter clone, currently used only by bronies, linux enthusiasts, channers, people with crippling depression and communists. The real lure of GS is the fact that it's "decenteralized", which means that it's made up of many websites connecting and sharing with each other. This has caused many lulzy rivalries between servers such as, Freezepeach VS Mastodon, Sealion.club VS Mastodon, Highland Arrow VS Mastodon, fucking everybody VS Mastodon. (Mastodon isn't terribly popular)."
Pretty accurate

@maiyannah @fl0wn @hakui @dogjaw @skoll ... for some value of "failure". Otherwise yes. :-)

@zlg it's a REALLY long story. The TL;DR is that the lead dev went out of his way to bring the Twitter/ Tumblr drama crowd to this network. Also, apparently we're Nazis *shrugs*

@fl0wn @zlg Oh and lets not forget that Stormfront literally had a Mastodon iinstance for a bit.
