Not sure I agree with all of his points, but it's a start that we're at least publicly acknowledging this as the end of an era (for good IMO)

The reality is that normies don't want to spend that extra little effort to figure out something like Mastodon. They want it fed to them. And Mastodon isn't even hard to figure out - it just lacks a lot of the features that Twitter has but if Twitter is borked, what's the point of those features?

Might seem short sighted, but honestly I'm ok with normies not joining. Eternal September is a very real thing, and I think a good number of us still long for the weird internet of yesterday

Without normies here it's hard to get a broader base of discussion beyond gaming or tech.
