Myth 11: Microblogging is a healthy and productive use of your time.

7 is a big one for me, I feel like mastodon’s worst enemy is it’s own developers.

Did you know that mastodons were relatively short? Despite being nearly 40% more massive than modern African elephants, the American Mastodon was 25% shorter on average!

themachine,

I was hoping to read about actual wolly mammoths.

OutlierBlue,

That’s why I clicked on it too. Also, mammoths and mastodons are different animals.

petrescatraian,

@OutlierBlue @themachine I was hoping to read about that heavy metal band from Atlanta

Me too. Like obviously I could just go and read about mastodons now, but it just wouldn’t be the same experience.
