@cws contrary to prevailing opinion on our side of the fediverse, the code of Mastodon that I have looked at, with only few exceptions related to scalability, is very good. Servers will fail because docker makes it really easy to set up a server, so easy that people who don't have the skills or attentiveness to maintain a server over the long haul will set one up, then either get bored & quit or lose the db in an outage or botched update.
This next part is an area I have direct insight into: there are very good things on the horizon with regards to federated social networks. The interest in Mastodon has attracted some very skilled and motivated people. -

@cws My estimate is half will be gone in two months. Multiple servers will be lost because nobody is doing regular backups, 90% of those users on dead servers will say "fuck it" and go back to Twitter. 3/4 of all the new users will be gone in a year.
A few brands, a couple "actual famous" not "Internet famous" will pop in for a while, bring another burst of attention with them, and then let their accounts languish.
None of this means Mastodon has "failed" it's just regular attrition. Bottom line is as cool as Mastodon is people want a centralized service because they can't stand that there are servers full of people that can't just be banned from the network (like mine); and find the incongruous usability experience of federated servers to be annoying and unnecessary. There will be many people who remain, and the fediverse, with a large number of Mastodon servers, will continue to exist and make its users happy. "Niche" groups that find the Fediverse (most likely through Mastodon) will be kink groups, bot-makers and experimenters that are fed up with Twitter's shitty rate-limited API, communities based around shared trauma or unique social experience. Other groups will stick around, too. Most of the GNU Social instances will not go away or convert to Mastodon. These people will all come together to Keep the Fediverse Weird (the way it ought to be, tyvm.)
Those are my public predictions. I have other predictions that I am not sharing because sometimes saying the future changes the outcome. -

PGP DAY: (1/?)
1. What is #PGPDay?
In April 4, 2016 the world experienced an unprecedented event: Through mere peer pressure and boredom, as many as twelve under-20 youths and a handful of older adults willingly and without coercion, successfully installed and used #PGP to communicate. It is believed that this is the largest number of people to correctly install and use PGP in a 24 hour period in the history of the world, and defied claims that it is too hard or not cool.
In 2017 on the first weekend of April that @moonman is not overwhelmed with work, we honor this day and hope to repeat its success. https://shitposter.club/attachment/572169 -

@chris @chc4 yeah I happened to see a screenshot of a different server where the admin was saying "I just blocked them because other server X already blocked them so it seemed like a safe position" not really mad at anyone who does that, but it's unfortunate. -

@clacke @lambadalambda @archaeme does this imply that the main way that people would be getting this info would be via aggregators rather than servers directly -

@clacke @takeshitakenji @hattiecat imo the language is getting better. but the ecosystem just keeps getting worse and I don't see an end game for these monstrosities that are being built and institutionalized -

@stitchxd I'm not on a supported platform for Ubuntu Touch, or I'd be running it now, good to hear it's gotten a lot better.
My two major interests in FirefoxOS was 1. Mozilla as a trusted steward (this has been reduced greatly lately) 2. web applications bypass app store censorship/monopoly. -

Everybody was like "moon man your server is named shitposter club you should name your notices something butt-related" and I was like "no that is silly" and then Mastodon was like "WE SHALL CALL THEM TOOTS" -

OK, that was enough time on Mastodon evangelizing and educating users.
