Yeah, they’ve implemented this a while ago, this year IIRC. People are on old information bashing Mastodon.

Precision engineering.

That’s juhst gayr propahgandurrr

They’re not saying “negative things about Russia”. On the contrary, they’re trying to minimize the atrocities commited by russian “soldiers” and their superiors, by blaming 1 singular person.

As if, if putin disappeared, all will suddenly be rainbows and unicorns, russians and ukrainians best buds.

.ml account doing .ml things…

I’m just saying, that they are really, really inefficient as RSS for everyday people since the are more posts you didn’t subscribe to, than the ones you subscribed to.

Hence saying that it’s what people use them for IMO , genedally, is incorrect.

When you say “people…”, assume that most use the native app.

No u

I think people are tired of the 140 character type social networks, the novelty has simply worn off. It’s either self-promotion or “I had two eggs for breakfast lol” type of posts.

People who came to Mastodon, posted “Hello world!” and didn’t bother to set a profile picture or add a description will always complain about the lack of discoverability, or the place being boring.

You literally have to put in work to set up your feed, follow hashtags, people and post yourself for it to be a network and not just a feed of things. And I think people struggle with this concept a lot.

I do understand that it’s not for everyone. But it’s not a problem with Mastodon, it’s just a natural filter IMO. “You have to put at least this much effort to integrate”. Low-effort things are usually just rage-bait.

Both Intsagram and Twitter will fill your feed with random people / brands you don’t follow.

It’s all about the dopamine hit.

Sure, blue checkmark.

Mastodon is the only place where I don’t get triggered, and instead get inspired and/or informed.

Good moderation, no bots, no fascists, no “famous, because stupid” idiots. Just a nice bunch of people sharing cool, interesting shit. I absolutely love it.

Uff, imagine getting news from a rightwing nutjob owned social network. Big yikes.

I don’t understand. Mastodon has implemented global search a while ago. If I type “Steve” in the search bar, I get Steves from all sorts of places, not only from my instance.

Or are you talking about some sort of “contacts scan” implementation?

That settles it then.

Same, anecdotal reference. People I know, distant acquaintances.

Many =/= all.

Many russians outside of russia still support russia. It’s not the lack of accessible information, I’m afraid.

“That dude downvoted a cute cat pic, get 'im!”

Can the mod community chip in and hire Mick Gordon for a couple more tracks? Just a couple. Ya’ll got any of them Mick Gordon tracks left?
