    Can you think of a single open source, open community spcial platform that has gained anything more than early adopter adoption?

    Mastodon has a terrible name that sounds like masturbate

    There is no charismatic leader

    There is no method to advertise on the platform, so the platform will suffer from no commercial incentives or correlation (e.g. find us on Twitter)

    It’s confusing to the vast majority of people that you can join from more than one location

    There are other platforms that do the same thing, why this one?

      if you didn’t learn anything in school, Mastodon might sound stupid. You might confused it with a Mammoth but you’d be a fool to think it was anything other than awesome. Like the war elephants in LotR

        I mean a mastodon is essentially a mammoth just with a bit more heavy metal mixed in.
