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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] infinitepcg@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) 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.
