We are at most, a few months away from apps with content and sharing mechanisms just not possible on Twitter or other centralized, closed-source platforms. That's when the momentum will really start to build for Activitypub and other protocols supporting federated networks. We have stop talking about it being a twitter "alternative" and start talking about is as an evolutionary step forward in global social networking. Because that's what it is.
You know what I think? The "many" - for which #Mastodon isn't as good as #Twitter - are in fact #celebrities and clickhunters (i.e. #mainstream media), so of course those media will report negatively about Mastodon. I really believe that we're better off here without celebs, #corporations, influencers, and people who think Mastodon is "too complicated."

@gabe But he's right about fun being subjective.
@oraclecrank I'd rather drink snake water than Rockstar energy drink.
@rebeccawatson Native plants are the way to go. I'm killing my grass and spreading native groundcover seeds. My neighbor with the manicured turf lawn is going to hate me when the Bluebells and Prarie Violets start to creep over to his side.
@futurebird @owlislost Although I have a soft spot for ants, I think I'm rooting for the butterfly in this case. That kind of specialization leads to a precarious existance, and it wouldn't take much to disrupt their lifecycle beyond recovery. Loss of diversity is a concern, even if it's a vile cuckoo caterpillar.
