I read The Verge’s latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don’t really care and will probably just use the official app or don’t really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.

What are your thoughts?

    But to make Mastodon more enticing, it should be necessary for celebrities to also post there. Feels like a “the chicken or the egg” situation.

    Why not post in both places? Many celebrities probably don’t directly post on Twitter, it’s a job for the PR team. Most celebrities probably are not even aware of Mastodon. But the PR teams probably are.

    Then what is the chance that petty little CEO decides to punish anybody posting in the competition? Most PR teams might also have this on their minds.
