Mastodon is the most stable social network I have used in a long time. Love it!
But that’s just like, your opinion
Everyone is okay. I haven’t even seen sinophobia yet

It’s here unfortunately, but unlike reddit, opposing opinions aren’t modded out.
Joined yesterday, Elon boi going down a right wing rabbithole and the zucc-verse is not very appetizing.

I don’t think there’s any advertising budget being spent on these fedi platforms, which makes it impressive they’ve grown so much from media exposure and word of mouth.
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.
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.
Also you don’t need a blue check mark to post relatively longer paragraphs.
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.
