@Faveing It's better not to think about the heat death of the universe :(

@anonhehs one is registered, the other active weekly

@InkAndCircuits @mirzaba @fexel someone from "yiff.rocks" likes sheep huh? 🤔

@Level14Boss That's not the only thing he got wrong in the article

@ryanlittlefield shatstodon

@Level14Boss I do want the fediverse (the network between Mastodon servers and other interoperable software) to replace Twitter as the mainstream method of public broadcasting, so in a way, yes.

He concluced his article (titled "Mastodon will never be the next Twitter") with this:

"I suspect thousands of other Tooters (blech!) will soon do the same and Mastodon will lay down beside all other other fossilized social media platforms and fade from existence."

Since then, Mastodon grew to 1,300,000 users and 2,000 servers. This is why people bring him up today.

Okay, I am getting questions about who Lance Ulanoff is. Time for some Mastodon history.

Exactly a year ago today, Lance Ulanoff opened his article about Mastodon with this phrase:

"William Shatner couldn't find me on Mastodon.

This was a problem."

That was the day Mastodon became a shatner-proof network.

What happens once I have more followers than Lance Ulanoff has on Twitter?

@FiverX2 Ah...

@nico 368

@FiverX2 what's up with your display name D:

Oh dammit I skipped over 69k followers without a chance to make fun of it

@synaesthetica @davidpgil I think I found an edge case and submitted a fix: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/7058 🙏
