Mastodon is the most stable social network I have used in a long time. Love it!

[–] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone is okay. I haven't even seen sinophobia yet

But that’s just like, your opinion

[–] Metal_Zealot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a lot of people that are realizing Silicon Valley is full of shit

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Certainly full of detached CEO's

Joined yesterday, Elon boi going down a right wing rabbithole and the zucc-verse is not very appetizing.

[–] Casmael@geddit.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yay! I still don’t know how to use anything that looks like twitter tho

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, two million users, congratulations Mastodon!

Threads is at 100 million, so if they federate they will still be completely drowned out.

[–] mochi@lemdit.com 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] phillycodehound@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago

And that's ACTIVE USERS

[–] PreciousPig@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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)

[–] phillycodehound@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'd have a separate Maston and Lemmy. Because they present differently. And are different systems for the most part.

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

[–] G59@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm doing my part!

[–] Sl00k@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] noodlejetski@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

luckily it doesn't need to overtake anyone, it's doing its own thing and it works just fine.

[–] Reddit_refuge@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

First time I hear about this but I can see already milions of rulles to accept before creating account so I'll pass.

[–] RocksForBrains@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Reddit_refuge@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] shashi154263@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where are all those people. When I open it, I see empty feed.

[–] communistcapy@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago

I would humbly submit calkey as an alternative. It's the best interface I've seen out of anything on the fediverse.

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can someone tell me what Mastodon is like please, I have social network fatigue and can't be bothered to try another one? 😅

[–] Nyaa@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Microblogging Fediverse app, Lemmy/kbin is to Reddit as Mastodon is to Twitter

[–] Nuuskis9@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Caoldence222@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Sheltac@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Also you don’t need a blue check mark to post relatively longer paragraphs.

[–] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Jeze3D@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

Mastodon is where the intelligent people are filtered to from Twitter. The idiots end up on Threads.
