Fenzik ( @Fenzik@lemmy.ml ) English33•1 year agoFunny, but feels unfair to mastodon (as someone who doesn’t use mastodon), they are definitely not trying to destroy the world and could use donations too!
bear_delune ( @bear_delune@beehaw.org ) English32•1 year agoNo journalist has any idea how Mastodon works
dan ( @dan@lemm.ee ) English16•1 year agoHonestly by completely ignoring the subject of federation, aside from acknowledging that mastodon’s creators/owners/etc have limited scope to turn evil, they’ve actually done a fairly reasonable job with this one.
Chris ( @floppy@rabbitea.rs ) English13•1 year agoActually this one’s on Mastodon at @firstdogonthemoon@aus.social
jonne ( @jonne@infosec.pub ) English15•1 year agoThe sign up process is kind of user hostile (or at least was a couple of months ago, they improved it a lot). People don’t really want to have to figure out which server to sign up to if they barely know what a server is.
They’re probably not talking about the actual conversations on Mastodon (although there’s definitely some condescension there, like if you dare to post an image without alt text they’ll come out).
Polendri ( @Polendri@lemmy.ca ) English9•11 months agoI feel that about the Fediverse too, despite being highly technical. Picking a server involves trust (e.g. that they won’t go offline and take your account down with them), but you’re just exposed to a list of servers with no idea who runs them. Plus, the server name shows up in your handle, so it affects one’s public persona and people care about that.
I’m on Lemmy through lemmy.ca which feels like an authoritative “Lemmy for Canada”, but… it’s just some random individual person who snagged the domain name. They seem great but I have no assurance that something weird won’t happen with it later.
echo ( @echo@sopuli.xyz ) English10•1 year agothey’re right about mastodon being light on the shitposts. it feels like it has all the self-importance of annoying twitter users, but none of the fun parts of twitter
MeowKittyWow ( @MeowKittyWow@beehaw.org ) English14•1 year agoRe: shitposts, it definitely strongly depends on who you follow. My home feed on mastodon is inundated with shitposts (and I like each one)
98codes ( @98codes@lemm.ee ) English2•11 months agoGiven that my Mastodon feed is around 15% pooptoots (where I like it), it seems that you’re following the wrong people.
lowleveldata ( @lowleveldata@programming.dev ) English4•1 year agoIsn’t that why the artist put a “NO” in the corresponding row?
995a3c3c3c3c2424 ( @995a3c3c3c3c2424@feddit.nl ) English19•11 months agoTwitter is burning.
Bluesky is smug.
T2’s still learning.
And Threads has bug.Mastodon’s tricky.
Discord’s a slog.
Spill is picky.

Hillmarsh ( @Hillmarsh@lemmy.ml ) English4•11 months agoThanks. Never heard of that one but it made my goddanged day!
Cylinsier ( @Cylinsier@beehaw.org ) English12•11 months agoI think Bsky’s biggest challenge is that you can’t get on the damn platform.
