    I mean a person even having heard of the fediverse is miles better than doomscrolling twitter or reddit

    And here I am amused to be reading all the Lemmy centric replies to a Lemmy specific meme … but doing it from elsewhere on the Fediverse. Here on kbin we interact with Mastodon just like we do with Lemmy. It all looks like one wonderful integrated fediverse from here!

    I’ve heard people trashing mastodon before, is there like a reason people don’t like it? I haven’t spent much time on it myself.

      There are possibly multiple reasons (which i don’t really agree with)

      • It’s bad because it’s popular

      • It’s bad because of features

      • It’s bad because the users

      Nah just the usual issue of nerds having a pathological compulsion to look down on anything that doesn’t meet their arbitrary standards for niche technologies. Same with people scoffing at someone who uses too “mainstream” of a Linux distro like Ubuntu or Mint rather than Arch or whatever.

    The current userbase of Mastodon are the most self righteous fart sniffers of old twitter. hopefully this will improve over time but half the content is complaining about twitter and how much better their little circlejerk of a community is.

      That’s what happens when there’s no algo. It’s just boring content that leaves the most boring people on there. I don’t care to be gaslit by the same people saying it’s actually better that way, it’s not and why other social media platforms are more popular. But apparently wanting the fedi to actually catch on and have more interesting content is “growth mindset” which is somehow bad to these people. Then they wonder why people lose interest so fast.

      You could say the same with Lemmy, there is probably a Venn diagram of a Lemmy user and a mastodon user.

    Funny, I still don’t have a mastodon because I couldn’t decide on an instance.
