People are leaving Muskrats fascist supporting platform. So what if they aren’t going to Mastedon, they’re leaving Twitter. Isn’t that enough for us?
I don’t need Mastedon to win. I just want Twitter to lose. Once Twitter has been (hopefully) de-platformed we can talk about Mastedon and the Fediverse and the idea of a non-corpo platform.
But it terms of main stream casual appeal, Mastedon still doesn’t have it yet, and that’s okay.
Mastedon needs to get more casual with the introduction to the Fediverse because for everyday non-tech people, it can be a little confusing.
People see Bluesky as the Twitter replacement because of its simplicity.
The wrong migration to IMHO…
Bluesky is run by the founder of twitter, which took far too long to ban Trump the first time round. I don’t know why so many people are giving him another chance to do the same shit again.
Jack Dorsey no longer has anything to do with Bluesky. https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/05/jack-dorsey-says-hes-no-longer-on-the-bluesky-board/
Oh. Good.
That decentralized and self-hostable platforms like Lemmy are fringe does not give me hope for the future of social networks on the Internet.
Bluesky is not great, but it’s at least (for now) a better platform than X and the AT protocol is actually very well written. (For instance having a moderation service separated from the service that provides the posts I think is a hands-down better way to handle it than most ActivityPub servers having their admins handle all incoming and outgoing moderation)
Bluesky federation is just now getting started so it’ll be interesting to see if it goes anywhere/where it goes.
Now left-wing has their own echo chamber, hurray
Wish they would go to Mastodon, even Threads which is on the fediverse.
How does another social media ruled by a billionaire gives hope?
Because it shows that a sizable amount of people are at least anti-nazi enough to move platform.
Yes, it would be nicer if they moved to mastodon, but nobody even knows what that is, nobody is there (classic chicken and egg problem), and people get confused by the whole “choose an instance/server” thing.
Is it not ok to have a small celebration of people moving to a better, more positive platform, even if it is far from perfect?
Shame that it’s another Capital-owned platform taking the spotlight. I’m not surprised unfortunately. We’ll be in the same place we are now in 10 years.
I’m preaching to the choir, but mastodon is the better platform if you want more authentic community and conversation.
Chances are that any new large commercial platform will enshittify, sooner or later prompting another exodus, and each exodus will at least have some people choosing a community platform.
Lemmy does not understand that people are leaving X cuz of Nazis, not cuz it’s a centralized corpo platform.
Elon turned it into his own personal Nazi blog where people can’t block him.
Pretty sure a significant portion of nazis are also moving to bluesky
But on Bluesky you don’t get them shoved in your face and there is culture of just blocking Nazis and moving on.
There were Nazis on X for years before this. They’re leaving because Trump won.
If it was owned by the community that moderated it, then yes. But no it’s owned by another rich asshole.
What a fucking lib take… See you on Mastodon after Dorsey fuck y’all over again
do we really want people that waited until now to even think about an alternative to fascists media?
the great migration to another investor-backed patiently waiting disaster. enjoy it while it’s good. if only they used activitypub. Mastodon is just too confusing for the average person, it will never take off. bluesky streamlines everything into being simple and understandable to the average user. I laugh when I see people circle jerking about being better than twitter when in reality it was started by the same people and all it takes is someone with too much money and it’ll be another fall-off story.
edit: I say this as someone who uses it, beats using shitter in it’s festering decaying state.
Mastodon is just too confusing for the average person
You’re mistaking motivation for ability. If you understand email, you can understand Mastodon.
You think the average person understands email?
Smart people left Twitter years ago. This is rats leaving the sinking boat for another rotten boat. If you were still on Twitter, please dont join Mastodon, we dont want you. Go make the same mistakes again and again, meanwhile we will keep building a better web on the fedi.

STFU or say you are speaking for yourself. Fedi is for everyone that’s the whole point of the exercise.
Yeah that was a bit extreme lol, I deleted it. I am just tired of seeing so many ports that promote another capitalist solution that will inevitably lead to the same result. Meanwhile the open alternative are fully working by snubbed by far too many people. We have the power to build a better, more fair, web, it just needs more people to get involved.
amen
