Very true.. but maybe instead of hoping mastodon fails maybe we should figure out what it lacks and add it... UFoI is my attempt at that, but I also made it open so we can work together to find that solution (rather than me just dictating it)... its a start...
@freemo
There is no life without struggle. I'd rather see Mastodon succeed as long as it takes for something obviously better to supplant it... IF IT EVER DOES. I suppose, as a guess, people are still using gopher: servers and USENET. They are certainly still using IRC. Did those actually "fail"? Would they have "failed" if nobody *was* currently using them?
