"The "fediverse" is the future of social media"

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

    Actually the same thing is also happening in fediverse. No difference.

      Only difference is here nobody is cashing in on our depression.

  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.

    I think people came to Mastodon expecting a new Twitter. Mastodon doesn’t try to hook you with algorithms the same way Twitter does, so you don’t get the same dopamine cycle.

    I think it’s great, all the people I want to follow are on there and I don’t get random tweets that “may interest me” and “people I should follow” every time I scroll. It sucks as a platform to meet (and get enraged by) strangers on the internet. The lack of an algorithm and reliable view statistics also makes attempts at gaining any kind of influencer status pointless, and no company will bribe you with free stuff when they can’t see how many people you’ve surreptitiously advertised their product to.

    The people on Mastadon are why I chose not to stay there. If you don’t know and adhere to the “expected behaviour” there you’re the devil and a million people with furry avatars will surely let you know.

      Can you provide an example of this “expected behaviour”?

    Nah just the usual issue of nerds having a pathological need 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.

    There are possibly multiple reasons

    • It’s bad because it’s popular

    • It’s bad because of features

    • It’s bad because the users

  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.

    Maybe you just haven’t found interesting people to follow, my content is way different

    source
  • Saltblue@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You could say the same with Lemmy

    source

    • cricket97@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      its way worse on mastodon. if you want proof do to mastodon.social/explore and look around

    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.

    If by “medge” u r refering to “Mastodon”, then yes. Otherwise no.
