I happened to notice an ex-Pebble user in my feed asking for Mastodon help, a couple weeks back. Had never heard of it, but I did some digging, found there was a whole group of them wandering around lost and confused, so reached out and welcomed them and offered help. Honestly they’re very nice people, it seems like Pebble’s whole “thing” was a focus on people being cool to each other so attracted that certain sort of user.
Proud to say I was nominated first post-Pebble member of Pebble club 😎
Lol that sounds so cute
Sounds like Beehaw =)
Without the part where they pull up the drawbridge behind them, hopefully.
I had an account there. I never used, but I posted a few times just to see what it looked like.
The UI wasn't bad, and if they have any resources left they should repurpose that UI on top of Mastodon.
They did, or at least made a theme for it.
How would you make money as a mastodon instance? Pay to be a member? I don’t see the incentive for the average user to pay when it’s so easy to join a free instance (I’m considering the average person doesn’t know how to host their own).
You could probably trust that an instance you’re paying for will be more stable/less likely to randomly shut down.
Tried to take on twitter? So they basically just made a bunch of elon shitposts? It seems vey easy to beat twitter at virtually anything

At first I thought this was about the smart watch from 2012. Pretty confused how that becomes a Mastadon instance.

Me too. I was stoked for about three seconds before I clicked on the article.
