Gregory's Server#Mastodon is still quite rough around the edges, but that's okay: so were #Twitter, #Facebook, #MySpace, and all the others during their early stages of mass adoption.
People just don't remember, either because it's been so long or because they only joined when those platforms had already become popular, and as a result, polished.
