Is it just the momentum and word of mouth, or are there improved features as well?

Are you referring to Jack Dorsey? He's not the owner, he just gave them grant money in the beginning. It's a non-profit so technically no individual "owns" it.

Mastodon is nonprofit. Blue sky is for profit.

You're right about the Dorsey part.

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait - are you sure it's non-profit? If so, why the VC money?

[–] huginn@feddit.it 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, he's wrong (obviously) it's a for profit startup.

It's not currently making money but that's different than nonprofit obviously.

He's right about the Jack part though.

He’s endorsing Kennedy so yeah there’s that hot mess.
