特朗普也在用的长毛象 Mastodon,会取代推特,成为社交的新绿洲吗?
在马斯克接手推特并开启一系列有争议的平台改革后,超过 14 万推特用户先后宣布,要将自己的社交阵地转移到 Mastodon 上。一个月内,Mastodon 平台活跃用户从 30 万迅速增长至 260 万,其受欢迎程度让创始人 Eugen Rochko 都感到震惊。不少广告主跟着迁移出去的推特用户,想找找在 Mastodon 上推广自己的机会,却只能失望而归,因为 Mastodon 现在还不支持任何形式的营销推广。这似乎也回应了 Mastodon 设立的初衷:社交网络不应被销售。
2016 年,有些社恐的德国工程师 Eugen 在 W3C 框架下,搭建了 Mastodon 的雏形,在不断众筹的过程中,长毛象成功地从小众应用里脱颖而出,成为了 Web3 社交产品里的当红炸子鸡。推特历史上曾有过多次的用户大出逃,而 Mastodon 一直是这些出逃故事里最重要的接纳者之一。在 Mastodon 经历了近期的惊人增长之后,九三年出生的 Eugen 在「Fortune」采访中放下豪言,终有一天,Mastodon 会取代推特。
本期节目,我们邀请了 Mastodon 的长期资助人 Suji, 以及在 Mastodon 上高强度冲浪的 Hana,深入探讨这款去中心化社交产品为什么可能成为推特最大的竞争对手。
Will Mastodon replace Twitter as the new oasis of social?
After Musk took over Twitter and initiated a series of controversial platform changes, more than 140,000 Twitter users announced that they were moving their social presence to Mastodon. Within a month, the Mastodon platform grew from 300,000 to 2.6 million active users, and its popularity shocked even founder Eugen Rochko. Many advertisers followed the migrating Twitter users, looking for opportunities to promote themselves on Mastodon, only to be disappointed that Mastodon does not support any form of marketing at this time. This seems to echo the original purpose for which Mastodon was created: social networks should not be sold.
In 2016, Eugen, a German engineer built the prototype of Mastodon in the framework of W3C, and in the process of continuous crowdfunding, Mastodon managed to stand out from the niche applications and became a popular product in Web3 social products. There have been many user exoduses in Twitter's history, and Mastodon has been one of the most important recipients of these exodus stories. After Mastodon's recent phenomenal growth, Eugen, who was born in 1993, made a bold statement in a Fortune interview that one day, Mastodon will replace Twitter.
In this episode, we invite Suji, a long-time patron of Mastodon, and Hana, a new-comer on Mastodon, to take a deeper look at why this decentralized social product could become Twitter's biggest competitor.
