I blogged about that last year:

https://mastodon.social/@Lance_Ulanoff/114285108628269898@rysiek Hopefully he's learned a bit more than that because WOW!
I honestly thought AI wrote it and hallucinated the whole time. Something trained on rage bait from middle schoolers. Wasn't a coherent argument in it anywhere.
"The logo is cute, but the service right now stinks almost as badly as a thawing woolly mammoth."
Even if mastodon had face planted, this article wouldn't be relevant to anyone but the guy who wrote it...and maybe Shatner because it's got him in it.

Today more time has passed since the Mastodon Won't Survive piece got published than there is left until the AI bubble pops.
Feeling old yet?

@rysiek What "reporter" uses words like this in a tech article
I think they had the feeling they where on Twitter still
Clowns!

@MarkAssPandi @rysiek The apps one is kinda strange though. Half of it's kinda valid ("no one knows how many instances there are and there's no list"), but just the fact that there's more apps than the official one? That's just weird (and deliberately forgetting the plethora of twitter apps there used to be before they shut that possibility down).
(Edit: autocorrect)
@Mabande @MarkAssPandi @rysiek
I had 3 different mobile Twitter apps in the Before Times, not counting the (very bad and totally overrated) official app.
Can't even remember the names of them now. -
@rysiek best in this article is the missing tweet from twitter.com

https://mashable.com/article/mastodon-wont-survive@rysiek I love Mastodon, but the term "toot" is still ridiculous and reminds me of farting. I had wished "verse" (as in Metaverse) was the choice for posting something, and if someone reposts it, it would be a re-verse. Which would have been a clever word trick

@dhinojosa the term "toot" is only dirty for a tiny minority of users of the English language. So,

@chrisp Google+. Fedi has already been around several years longer than all of Google+.
@rysiek @chrisp
Unfashionable take, but I really liked G+ (in the early days, before the mandatory YouTube disaster).
I got in as part of the first wave of general public users, courtesy of an invite from a friend who worked for Google.Woz was on it, and I found a lot of interesting music there (that wasn't being pushed anywhere else).
It (unsurprisingly) went to shit after they added the mandatory requirement to have a G+ account to add comments on YouTube videos.

@dec23k why unfashionable? I never used it, but that doesn't mean it was bad. That was years before all the really toxic social media stuff started happening. No shade if you liked it.
The point I was making is that this here tiny little fedi has way more staying power than a social network with over a hundred million users at the time, pushed hard by one of the biggest tech companies in the world.
That, to me, is the superpower of decentralized services.
