Did you know that the famous Hollywood sign originally spelled out "Hollywoodland"?

The sign was created in 1923 to promote a property development business. Every letter was encrusted with light bulbs which allowed the sign to first illuminate (flash) "Holly", then "wood", then "land" and finally the whole name.

A maintenance agreement (1949) between the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce & the City of Los Angeles led to a stipulation that the "land" be removed.

I want to be able to tell my friends why #mastodon is better than the birdsite, so I wrote a thing: "Mastodon Is Better than Twitter: Elevator Pitch"

I want this to be as persuasive as possible to outsiders, so I'd appreciate as much feedback as possible from Mastodon users
