Quiet public

"Bluesky is hotter than Mastodon right now"

Bluesky has received over $45 million at this point, by my account. In a couple years.

What has Mastodon received? In the entire totality of its existence? Maybe 1 million? 500k?"

Like I don't know how to explain to you that this is the reason, right here, it's investment on a scale of magnitude that isn't even remotely comparable.

The fact that Mastodon is in the conversation at all without a marketing department or millions in investment is a fucking miracle.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://olifant.social/users/oli/statuses/01JYM719HJ44DY94PN24CXA6D0 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
