@shoq Not really. The start-up world is built around speculation, and the way they talk about monetization is built on the premise that the web is “broken”.
TechCrunch implies that “active” users are near par with Mastodon. However, there’s less conversation that happens on Post—so what does that really mean?
Is the goal to discuss the news or just be another news reader?
On both counts, it’s possible that @Flipboard might eat Post’s lunch.
@atomicpoet It still astonishes me, that for all the caterwauling progressives engage in about corporate influence and surveillance capitalism, their leading influencers just oh so casually help projects like Post make the same mistakes all over again. Because choosing a server is so challenging.
