The infrastructure has been rock-solid. I’ve never seen a service grow this fast without any noticeable outages. The architecture and execution are obviously informed by serious experience at Twitter, but it’s also clear that management is giving them everything they need to do the job right.

The architecture and execution are obviously informed by serious experience at Twitter, but it’s also clear that management is giving them everything they need to do the job right. The world has changed quite bit. If you have deep pockets and you can use AWS etc., it isn't a major problem anymore. Howeve…

Deciding to use a cloud provider or not has very little do to with the quality of the application and infrastructure architecture.

You can make an app that scales beautifully on AWS or you can make one that chokes.

Highly recommend folks check out Mastodon as well - fully decentralized, no ads, no algo, no corporate control. It is continuing to grow steadily and has tons of activity compared to a few years ago. https://joinmastodon.org/

mastodon is federated, not decentralized

federation is a form of decentralization

No one has called me a shitlord, cuck, idiot, or otherwise implied I’m stupid for the entire time I’ve used it. It’s great. The tech community on there is really solid, at least insofar as my interests go.

What happens when they do, are you going to leave?

As someone who never used Twitter, I made a Bluesy account and it was okay. I learned that I have no idea how to engage with that style of social media. One thing that put me off is how so much of what I saw was just talking about Bluesky vs Twitter. I hope they can move past that.

Judiciously using the muting features is required to have a good time in social media. Add "Twitter" to muted words to move past that on your own.

I appreciate Mastodon and wish it were growing steadily. Unfortunately, activity metrics (see the second chart on this page, for example [0]) suggest that it's on a steady, slow decline. [0] https://mastodon-analytics.com/

Assume you're right and advertising companies outsourced responsibility to GARM.

Then since GARM was discontinued in August shouldn't all of the advertisers be suddenly flocking back to X. Because ad spend for X continues to be anaemic.

And I assure that advertisers very much do care if their ads appears next to neo-nazi, racist and misogynistic content.

why isn't mastodon one of the winners like bluesky?

Because you can go to Bluesky and click “Sign Up” without a confusing explanation about instances.

Mastodon has a big honkin' "Join mastodon.social" button both on joinmastodon.org and in the mobile apps to solve this exact problem.
