in reply to wakest ⁂ • • •That feels like a weird argument
"There's people over here doing stuff!"
"Bah! Denialism!"
What does he mean?

in reply to silverwizard • • •@silverwizard @˗ˏˋ wakest ˎˊ˗ Fedi is much smaller than Twitter even though it's been around almost as long.
The alleged denialism is our failure to use his criteria for success. It's go big or go home, clearly.

in reply to wakest ⁂ • • •didn't like or reply to either of my responses but 'liked' this. I guess if you found a crypto currency you probably think money is the most important part. sometimes it really surprises me how short sighted "smart" people are

Unknown parent • • •he claims the Fedi lost "8 billion people" somewhere along the line, there are only 7,9 billion in the whole World!
If this is the level of his maths/statistical analysis sklils, I wouldn't even trust his crypto/finance business one bit...

Unknown parent • • •that's hyperbole or quick shorthand.
I don't stop using Linux because other people aren't using it? Nor should we stop using mastodon/fediverse.
We have reasons to want more use of these alternatives. We shouldn't get a savior complex, or deny the downsides of what we do. In the case of z-cash ..uh.. lots of PoW cryptocurrency issues. But for the fediverse, follows are often long-physical-distance, which is not always ideal for socializing..

Unknown parent • • •to be fair even claiming a new social network has "lost" a similar amount of users to the entire global population is a bit of a stretch 😁

My theory du jour: half the four billion are troll accounts from that anti-wife guy and various scrapers and/or Fash.

So it's like when Shakespeare (or Siddon) proclaimed that cowards die a bunch of times before they actually die...:

in reply to bhaugen • • •Zooko is an old cypherpunk from the 90s, defined en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooko%27… , created tahoe-lafs.org/ and is today working on and is CEO of ZCash. He is selling ZCash.
He is no idiot, he is no noob, but he's in a place where he knows and built a lot of stuff and is pretty sure he looked at all the facts and people who draw a different conclusion are just tiresome.

in reply to Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK • • •They aren't on Fedi. So Fedi failed 8 billion people while Twitter only failed 7.5 billion and Facebook 5 billion I guess.
And ZCash failed about 8 billion people too! My parents don't know about ZCash. Just give up already.
