Have you at all attempted to look? It's open source.
This is why it's not being downloaded. It has terrible reviews it's a 3.5 out of 5. You don't think it but people care about that.
I have never tried Mastadon. Normally if a company is good it has great marketing as well as great direction, even if it's a nonprofit. For instance, federation can never work for growth because it's like operating a franchise. The owner of Mastadon doesn't give his franchisees any cut. If he did they would bend over for him to grow their instance. It's actually a new concept that is pretty smart but not executed well. Think I will copy it for Tiblur.com. Right now Mastodon is just a non profit version of McDonalds which all but ensures instance owners will lose their shirt if something bad happens on their instance and they are sued. Corporate structure is the only way. Just don't build a shitty company. Also, why isn't mastodon homie asking for peoples contacts, that's how any app grows. You can do what FaceBook and Instagram do but just dont be a shit.
What is why it is not being "downloaded"? It seems you don't actually understand how it works. You realize we are talking on a federated network right now, yeah? You must be trolling.
Im on a computer not a phone. People like apps not browsers.
