Libre Office has 10k followers on Mastodon

I've tried mastadon, I've read some of the code, I've read the specs. I was really excited about it but then I started using it and its just not up to the bar of mainstream user expectations.

The bar has risen for social media sites since 2000. Its not enough to slap some SPA code together, get a basic working data model with CRUD functionality, and toss it into the ether. People aren't excited by a working toot (like) button.

Doesn't seem like you've used it very much if you believe the toot button is a like button.

You're right a proper definition of a toot is:

"Posts are called "toots" instead of "tweets", as is the case on Twitter."

I mixed up a like button with a tweet-like object. Either way i'll say it again, people aren't excited by the ability to create basic posts anymore.

I’ve never used mastodon, but it’s hard to take your judgements at any value when it seems like you haven’t either.

>People aren't excited by a working toot (like) button. They seem pretty excited by this on Twitter. You haven't explained what you think are "mainstream user expectations".
