We don't have any popular services besides +email which are decentralized anymore. + +Mastodon is more complicated than Twitter because you have to "pick a server" +and that's true but at the end of the day all that matters is where the people +are. + +If enough content generating posters will just make the shift at once then this +thing can be self-sustaining...even if it is more complicated. + +Twitter was more complicated than not using Twitter and people still started +using it. This is perenially true for all new things. + +Anyway, it's late and I'm tired. + +Long live microblogging.
