Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i've been hopeful. What do you think?

Lemmy: yes
Mastodon: ONLY IF IT CHANGES ITS SHITTY, CLUMSY, UGLY, UNINTUITIVE NAME to something with more of the following features:
- Two syllables with the accent on the first (trochee)
- Bright, sharp consonant and sibilant phonemes that pop (instead of dull, wooden, sonorous ones that flop)
- Has a v or r sound in it to make it sound powerful
- Bouncy and fun to say, therefore memorable
For example, it might catch on with a name like "Trunky" - I'm sure people who are more creative than me might come up with even better names.

2 0 ReplyThat's true! AND mastodon also has that exact same problem because there's a metal band named mastodon! It's like, how do people fuck up twice in the exact same way in the exact same context (social media services) - are they fucking TRYING to fail?
