I hate how quickly this site has gained a mainstream foothold while the Fediverse is so much the obvious choice.
We have our issues, Mastodon is far from perfect but you cant tell me that they are somehow problem free.
Mastodon has terrible discoverability. It feels like a ghost town. It's just not suitable as a Twitter replacement.
I think this is the primary hitch.
Personally, if there was a service like Bluesky that let you choose your algorithm instead of just being purely chronological, I would jump on that very fast. That's what Bluesky's killer feature is, imo.
Apart from, y'know, not being the hellsite that is Twitter.
I mean, if Bluesky can let you create/choose custom algorithms for your feed, why can’t Mastodon?
because Mastodon isn't designed to pray on people's lack of self control?
I would argue that what makes it good. Mastodon is only as good as you make it but you have to take personal responsibility. That's something that people should get accustomed to taking again.
@webghost0101@sopuli.xyz I guess, though, on this occasion, I'm happy for the EU to not look at the data-security of the Fedi. 😆
