@thatonecalculator it didn’t. And still hasn’t. Only the ones after me first pointing out that I never got a notification.

@thatonecalculator the second reply is.

Not that one though. The platform doesn’t work, because it’s not one platform, and it’s never going to replace actual social media.

It’s a novelty for tech nerds (like myself), but I’m intelligent enough to actually realise that it’s got no mass market appeal.

@thatonecalculator you didn’t know what it was at all a minute ago, and as I already pointed out, the official client didn’t show it either.

@thatonecalculator but it’s all third party, isn’t that the point?

Moot anyway since it’s not in the “official” client either.

@thatonecalculator “today” no. And you aren’t interacting with me, because the “fediverse” isn’t showing me your post except if I click on my own post first. No notifications. Not in my feed, not in my mentions tab.

@atomicpoet the first barrier of entry is instances.

@atomicpoet then the barrier of entry is always going to be “WTF is an instance”

@atomicpoet haha, no.

@atomicpoet if you want it to actually compete with twitter and other social networks the it needs to be a thing you can actually sign up to without having to decide which of the 100s of “instances” is the one you want to sign up to.

Mastodon is as big as it’ll ever get unless that changes.

@atomicpoet you’re wrong.

@atomicpoet as long as, when googling mastodon, you arrive at mastodon.social as the first entry, and then upon hitting “sign up” they go “HAHA JOKES ON YOU YOU CANT SIGN UP HERE” you’ve already lost 99% of the people.

@atomicpoet you’re demonstrably a chode.

@atomicpoet keep being delusional.

@atomicpoet I’m not on the fediverse. I’m on one instance of the fediverse, and signing up was non trivial.

@atomicpoet this here demonstrates that not even you actually understand what this “platform” is.
