Why Post.News over Mastodon and CounterSocial? I'm on all three--for the moment--but one thing that sticks out is the fact that Post has venture capital behind it, while the others don't.
What this means in practice is that Mastodon and CounterSocial will always be what they are now, but Post has a chance to really take off. Will it? That is the big question.
If I were in charge of CounterSocial, I would be looking for funding, BTW. The user-donor/subscription model just doesn't seem a winner to me.
@John_Scotus I fail to understand why one has to be “over” the other. I’m happy subscribing to a variety of sites for different reasons. The beauty of CoSo is the small town vibe, or as likened to in the past, the bar from the TV show Cheers. CoSo doesn’t have to have the same model or the same subscribers. We only need the people who truly enjoy being here. If that keeps us small, so be it. I’m prepared to continue donating just as I have these past 5 years and I suspect others feel as I do.
