bet: the link to this tweet won't work in two years
This is going to look even sillier when Musk triggers a mass Twitter exodus
@jaffathecake How much do you want to bet
@jaffathecake Hey you lost the bet
@Gargron Haha, @jaffathecake could have deleted the account to win, no?
But it seems just to be a ghost account now. #MastodonForever
@Gargron times three at this point
@Gargron @jaffathecake Couldn't he have used "Delete & re-draft" to win?
@codewiz @Gargron @jaffathecake that would not be fair 
@jaffathecake the app is open source and decentralised, so if mastodon.social goes down eventually if it catches on communities can remain. Which is a strength twitter does not have.
@ada I'm with you, but still—source code is just part of the equation: Twitter is 99% content, here too, one's profile, toots, connections... @jaffathecake
@ada If mastodon.social goes down, @jaffathecake wins his bet even if other Mastodon instances continue to exist. … But that's probably not the way he intends to win.
@jyasskin @jaffathecake I am glad that mastodon.social stopped accepting registrations so this will be the test to see if other instances start up.
@jaffathecake imma take that bet. Wager: All the beers you or I can drink in a night. 
4 years for mastodon 
@jaffathecake "never heard of mastodon" ... "Oh I have an account"
@jaffathecake I have to admit that Mastodon has been consistent all these years. Maybe it is really worth a try...
Especially if it will decuple its user base in the next weeks.
@jaffathecake So it does.
@jaffathecake …aaand done
@jaffathecake Still works!
