Fedi has been around for ~13 years and Mastodon has been around for about 9 of those. For anyone wondering how Fedi "wins", I think you need to ask instead, "what does it mean to win"? We've gotten this far w/o VC funding and continue to grow (even if it isn't at breakneck speeds). We win by being here. Being here for everyone who *finally* realizes that corporate social platforms are forever-doomed. Everything else is second, and will probably come in time.
Here's to 13 more years of winning!
