    The difficult thing is gaining users, not writing the code.

    I don't think the number of bots matters much, there are much more real people on Twitter than on Mastodon. It's not an issue for Twitter because they already are the platform where everyone else is. I'm optimistic about Mastodon, it already has the better UX and the better business model and I think it will slowly attract more users over time and eventually reach the relevance that Twitter had at its peak.

    It's hard to tell how much a platform is worth, arguably the value of Twitter was 44B, since someone was willing to pay that.

    The good news is, if you're really certain that Reddit is overvalued, you'll soon be able to short it and get rich if you end up being right!
