So, I agree with you about the missed opportunity, but I feel the "where's Eugen" dig is very unfair. Mastodon gGmbH is like 4 people and they're all coders, not marketing. The fediverse is an intentionally decentralized collective, not organized like a startup running user-acquisition campaigns.
Nobody executed the highly skilled labor you (and I) wish would have happened because there is literally no one being paid to do that, because Mastodon is not a company,.
