Do you think #Mastodon will be eclipsed by services like Bluesky? Not in Absolute Utility but in userbase.
It seems like Jack looked at what did(n't) work here and then tried to implement his vision of that plus Twitter.

in userbaseIf you're talking about #Mastodon specifically, then maybe yes.
But if you're referring to the #fediverse network, more likely not.
For example, once #Tumblr and #Flickr enables their #ActivityPub support, that's probably millions of users added to the fediverse network.
And if Instagram is serious about adding ActivityPub support, then that's another millions of users.

I'd be very interested to see a Meta-owned social network enter #Fediverse, but it feels like these corpos aren't going to love a lot of the inherent open-ness to these systems.
@lee_quadkorps @youronlyone Isn't that exactly why we should *fear* any large corporation getting involved? They'd try to destroy everything it's about, wouldn't they?
@pteryx @youronlyone yeah precisely, they'll utilize the letter but not the spirit of the protocol.
@pteryx@dice.camp @lee_quadkorps@dice.camp I guess it depends which corporation/group it is.
For example, Facebook/Meta already have a history re: EEE ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish ) when they federated with #XMPP (f. #Jabber) network, then defederated later on.
I think we can trust Tumblr since it is owned by Automattic (Wordpress). Flickr… personally I think we can welcome them too.
@youronlyone @lee_quadkorps I think if there's any lesson tabletop roleplayers should take from this year so far, it's that you can never, *ever* trust a large corporation. Even if they do something good, they'll get greedy and do something evil later.
