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 But if people want it to be what it is, there's no need for it to "take off". Goal matters. Otherwise, you're trying to convince someone who only wants a flowerbed at the front of the house that they'll never be a successful farmer and be able to compete in the industry.
