BuzzFeed Editor in Chief, Ben Smith, mentions Mastodon as an example of a social network that "comes after the social media empires"
re: rise of Switter: "Perhaps the most striking lesson here was the technical ease of spinning a big, functional new social network up in just a few days"

@schlink "Just a few days" I don't think @Gargron will agree after working a year alone I think on Mastodon code before it became "famous" ;p
Actually the success took a few days when main medias talked about it and more and more sysadmins installed their instance but it take a lot of work to make it successful :)
@Gargron @schlink Oh, sorry, I should have read slower
