I’m not seeing much at all of that currently. A week ago? Sure. Now it’s been consolidated to a mega thread.

What if I told you we don’t need to compete with them?

The biggest issue is normies are stupid. That’s basically the gist.

I won’t touch anything with Dorsey’s name attached. Yuck.

Before algorithms we all used hashtags. Hashtags were very important to Twitter in the before times. That’s how you find topics on mastodon. I have columns set with specific hashtag sets so I can quickly glance at toots about horror movies, birds, retrogaming, etc…

You can also follow hashtags directly in your home feed just like Twitter topics.

It’s really not a difficult thing at all, but people are so addicted to Twitter they always give a halfassed attempt at switching before throwing up their hands.

Just delete the account a make it on another instance? What’s the issue?

Everyone always saying “rip Twitter” but y’all never leave, so…

Musk started it with the extreme monetizing of Twitter. Cutting off api access, charging premium subs for reach, selling verified… and he got away with it. All the brainless Twitter users are still there using his platform and bitching instead of leaving.

Musk proved you can piss all over your userbase and they won’t leave. Now all tech companies are doing it. Meta is charging for verification. YouTube cutting adblock. Google looking to stop supporting adblock in chrome. Even Reddit CEO citing Musk as his inspiration going forward.

LEAVE these platforms, people. The CEOs are literally laughing at your stupidity while cashing checks.

Trying it now. Thunder is really good but it feels like it’s designed for Android not iOS. Very “material you” feeling.

Eh. I used to be a YouTube junkie but honestly I’ve gone back to live TV, Hulu, Netflix, etc… I’m kinda over the whole YouTube thing.

Mastodon is better anyway. I deleted Twitter ages ago when Musk took over. It’s amazing how many people have stayed there despite how much he’s shit all over the userbase. He makes Spez look like a saint.

Feel free to peruse the plethora of reasons- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Google

Screw YouTube and Google. They aren’t getting a dime from me.

My mistake. The internet has programmed me to take any reply in context of lgbt to be with hostile intent. ❤️

Sorry I’m confused at your comment there. Care to elaborate?

It’s so beautiful 🤩

It’s a mastodon instance. Calm down.

Jesus H Christ do any of you read the comments? I’ve seen this reply like 6 times now. I edited the typo but federation and edits are like oil and water.

I wish there was a launcher on Android that, for novelty reasons, would emulate old android.
