I understand they were fond of the tutanota name. But I can’t believe they kept the tuta part instead of any of the new names they were brainstorming.
I know what tutanota actually means, but in spanish, Tuta sounds almost exactly like Puta (bitch, whore) when said in conversation. Its like if an email service was named focque.com without taking into account how it sounds in one of the most spoken languages in the world. And they had a chance to take it but kept the tuta part.
But I like the product, just wanted to rant.
Its the absolute lack of algorithm. No, really. I know Mastodon toots it as a feature, but without an algorithm to keep people scrolling most people just close the app and do something else. People who don’t understand instances would just go to mastodon.social anyway, but since no mastodon instance is actively trying to keep its users engaged 24/7, people naturally realize they have better things to do than to use social media all say.
Which is better for humanity, but bad for retention.
