Yes, I installed it, I was like "...why I'm there again?" and desinstalled it 5 minutes after. It will become like Twitter, with only "hottakes" to bring attention
at some point in the past I created an account on twitter but it seemed pointless to me. Then it got bigger and was always getting mentioned/quoted and I gave it another shot thinking maybe I was just doing it wrong. Nope, still sucked.
That said, I do have a mastodon account, but I don't like a lot of things about it. When I'm looking at my timeline, I never know if something is a top level post or a reply to someone else unless I click on it.
Yeah, when I was on Twitter, it just suck the joy out of me. Everyone want to be popular, and will do shitty dramas. It was always negative things, or people showing how beautiful they are. Let me tell you that for a young trans woman still in the closet, seeing girls showing how beautiful they are just to make jealous others (they explecitly said it was their intention) was very hurtful. My gf saw me going very sorrow about life and she told to to get the fuck out of this garbage. I did, and i'm very more happy
Hell yeah! You got a great person on your side. I hope you never have to experience that shit again.
I feel like Twitter is just one of those sites where it's best consumed filtered through other people posting the good bits elsewhere
Ironically Reddit was the best place to look at Twitter posts.
I wonder is Lemmy will get meme style discussions about Mastodon posts?
