  • What an absolutely braindead reply.

    Mastodon had a bad experience for that person.
    Blue sky didn’t.
    Their experience wasn’t unique.
    End of story.

    You’re doing mental gymnastics to misinterpret their argument. Nobody said they want centralized social media you absolute lemon. They want a user experience that doesn’t suck. Right now, blue sky provides that while mastodon doesn’t.

    “Oh but bsky’s federation doesn’t solve Mastodon’s problem” they don’t have to solve Mastodon’s problem.

    Elitist neckbeards like you are the reason the fediverse isn’t fun.





  • See this is part of the problem.

    Dude was like “look at this objectively terrible experience I actually had”
    And you are like “yeah well that could happen to bsky in theory too, so they’re just as bad!”

    I’ve been a mastodon user for almost 2 years, but I never use it because finding interesting people to subscribe to who are actually active is difficult.
    I haven’t been using bsky because I’ve really been hoping mastodon takes off, but whenever I hear about how easy it is to onboard and find interesting content, I think about switching.





  • Lots of edgelords here like “I don’t want the reddit plebs here” as though they weren’t happily one of them a couple years ago.

    Let them come over. Put the idea of federation to the test. Isn’t that one of the major features of federation, if there are a bunch of shitty people you can just defederate or use a different community?
    If federation does what it claims then it’ll only be an improvement.

    I agree with people saying not to force people here if they don’t wanna be (not that we could), but the people saying that folks still on reddit are there because they inherently prefer the reddit application UX is crazy. They prefer the content in reddit. And they have a point.

    Folks here are way more insufferable than reddit. Just the other day there was a post being like “why do reddit users hate Lemmy?” And linked a reddit post about it. But the comments on the reddit post were considered, nuanced, and polite; while the comments on the Lemmy post were a bunch of neckbeards crying about how terrible reddit users are.

    TLDR y’all need to look in the mirror.

    Edit: typo degenerate → defederate
