The people who say "Mastodon will not be sufficient" or "Mastodon will not get enough users" or "Mastodon will not survive" still have the "Twitter mindset" and that's a fact.
#Mastodon doesn't have to "gain traction" or be "popular" from that perspective.
Back in the 90s I didn't think most of the people of this planet will some day be using the Internet. I was happy being that nerd boy within the 1% of the world's population who actually use Internet. Similarly, I'm completely happy to be the tech oriented guy who uses Mastodon instead of Twitter.
I repeat: Mastodon does not have to be a "replacement". Mastodon does not "need" anything to "survive". It has already prospered.
It's as hard for me to imagine all the 20 000+ Mastodon servers with their users just suddenly cease to exist as Internet would suddenly disappear. That just will not happen. #Mastodon #SocialMedia
