Twitter just lost heads of security and compliance… Feels like the migration to Mastadon is on in earnest. Now I’m really curious to see what big tech and large media platforms do, the opportunities are huge. I suspect the culture here around things like CWs is about to get absolutely steamrolled by all the new users, too… and someone will start building the features Mastadon doesn’t want to: search etc. It’s going to be an interesting six months.
@riskybusiness absolutely.
and it's not just the question of features. it remains to be seen if mastodon can scale effectively. can it do so with the current model without large staff and advertisers? that's far from clear. so far it has avoided a lot of issues twitter has had to grapple with (trolls, bots, impersonators, hate speech) because of its small size. but this won't last if it keeps growing. there is definitely an opportunity for a competing service.
