Read on Twitter
I saw someone mention pillow fort and remembered it existed and apparently they are still trying to get it up and running again but then I saw this in reply to one of their tweets
I gotta ask...why? Like...for what? What audience do you actually think is going to be there?
People aren& #39;t going to flock to there just like they haven& #39;t to mastodon or any of the numerous alternatives that have tried and died. Twitter worked because there wasn& #39;t anything exactly like it at the time so people used it, you& #39;re not gonna convince them to leave it now.
It& #39;s the same feeling I get when people talk about making youtube competitors.
Like...no, you& #39;re not. You& #39;re not gonna come even close. The amount of money it costs to host video on that scale isn& #39;t feasible for some smaller national GDPs, let alone 5 people making a website

And it& #39;s gonna be the same with most social media that pops up, it& #39;ll either grow too big too fast and will buckle because it was never built to handle it, or there& #39;s not enough money TO build it up to handle it
Or it& #39;ll be a small, obscure thing that people remember sometimes

Hell, I have 2 mastodon accounts and literally only just remembered it existed typing this thread. I haven& #39;t been on there in years.
