But that’s just like, your opinion
That's a lot of people that are realizing Silicon Valley is full of shit
Certainly full of detached CEO's
Joined yesterday, Elon boi going down a right wing rabbithole and the zucc-verse is not very appetizing.
Yay! I still don’t know how to use anything that looks like twitter tho
Wow, two million users, congratulations Mastodon!
Threads is at 100 million, so if they federate they will still be completely drowned out.
I spent some time on Threads to see how it was and it's a fucking cesspool of like-mongering and look at me oneupsmanship bullshit that was so fucking tiring to look at that I deleted the app after 4 days.
And that's ACTIVE USERS
Is it recommended to create an account specifically for Mastodon or just use your Lemmy-account? Will it fuck up my feeds/subs in some way if I only use one account for both? (I'm new to the whole fediverse thing)
I'd have a separate Maston and Lemmy. Because they present differently. And are different systems for the most part.
Ribbit
The fediverse isn't driven by profit, so growth for the sake of growth isn't necessary. Word of mouth will let the fediverse platforms grow naturally and sustainably
I'm doing my part!
This is great! But generally can't see Mastadon overtaking any other major social platforms until it introduces an equivalent of For you feed from Twitter. The days of following specific people and hashtags is over, it's tedious and I don't give a shit about 3/4s of the feed.
2017-2020 Twitter was absolutely peak Twitter algorithm wise and thousands of users want that exact experience back, yet nobody will provide it.
luckily it doesn't need to overtake anyone, it's doing its own thing and it works just fine.
So true
First time I hear about this but I can see already milions of rulles to accept before creating account so I'll pass.
So here's my question: what content are you looking for that is forbidden in most circles?
Furthermore, the state of bad actors on Reddit speaks to the failure of loose enforcement and a lack of cohesive rule base across the entire website.
So what rules are impeding you to access what you want?
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, casteism, harassment, dogpiling, doxxing, no false or misleading information
So anything can fall under those terms theese days. Sorry dude, this is not free speech. This is another facebook, twitter or instagram.
Where are all those people. When I open it, I see empty feed.
I would humbly submit calkey as an alternative. It's the best interface I've seen out of anything on the fediverse.
Can someone tell me what Mastodon is like please, I have social network fatigue and can't be bothered to try another one? 😅
Microblogging Fediverse app, Lemmy/kbin is to Reddit as Mastodon is to Twitter
Thanks mate.
I think the most enjoyable feature is that there is no algorithm in Fediverse. And decentralization means that if you host your own server for Pixelfed (instagram equivalent) for example, your data will go offline at the moment you disconnect your server from the internet.
Lemmy is great alternative for Reddit especially if you're into tech.
What do you mean by "no algorithm"? There must be something controlling the order of "hot" vs "new"? Or do you mean the kind of algorithm that shows you suggested communities?
Yeah, there's an "algorithm" here but rather than a black box of trade secrets and manipulation it's entirely open source, and mathematically simple.
mastodon idk, it probably has a similar algo for its Explore page but I think the user feed is just made up of posts from people you follow in chrono order.
mathematically simple
And, as far as I can see, neutral. Doesn’t put you in a bubble like other social networks do, because it’s not trying to milk you for engagement.
Thanks mate.
Also you don’t need a blue check mark to post relatively longer paragraphs.
It's not like here at all. No shitposts. Only people who use their real name and work for some non profit sharing their highly intelligent news bulletins. I haven't found any memes
Mastodon is where the intelligent people are filtered to from Twitter. The idiots end up on Threads.
