Maybe it’s just because I never really “got” Twitter, but this seems like a boring tautological argument to me. A more interesting question would be whether we even care? Platforms come and go. For some reason people seem to have decided that platforms have gotten “too big to fail”, but it’s clearly not the case.
Depends on who’s “we”? A lot of people are seriously stressed about not finding their friends and following their stars. I find that pathetic, but it’s true and can be seen on every Twitter alternative, like Post News, Spoutible and whatever else is out there. Those are look-alikes, but Mastodon is “confusing” because it looks different.
