What makes you think this? I haven't observed any advantages to an office beyond overexposing the company to real estate (not really an advantage) - there is nothing I could do in …

Most of those people were there before 2016

The average Twitter user likely does not know what a file is (see: that one iPad commercial where the kid says "what's a file?" or something), and likely uses a mobile device of so…

Mastodon is a bunch of separate federated Mastodon instances. In order to see content from several you need to connect to each of them (if memory serves, your identity and social g…

The technical barrier to entry ensures "normies" will not be able to use or understand (or at least enjoy) Mastodon. This will prevent it from becoming as huge as Twitter

Were you intoxicated when you wrote this, or am I just really tired? I'm having trouble connecting the dots on what you're saying. It seems all over the place

Well, there's still Gimp and Inkscape if you aren't afraid of working outside of a browser
