Weirdly, it’s nothing to do with how color forms in our brain (the actual ‘my blue your blue’ thing), only what we call it. So it’s mainly semantics.

Cool website nevertheless.

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?

“Too late”, because it’s past his bed time and he might shit himself because he’s a senile old shart?

In an oligarchy they can, yeah.

Right-wing-nutjob-infested-and-controlled social network.

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

What is it woth the right and cancel culture? It feels like there’s no free speech anymore.

Bunch of snowflakes.

What a fucking useless article. “Just write anything about Trump, we need the clicks”. Fucking “journalists”, absolutely complicit in the downfall of the US and the turn towards fascism.

What a fucking moron. My god he represents his voters well.

In capitalism, creating problems keeps people employed.

If your shit’s maintained and running perfectly, it looks as if you’re not doing anything.

If you think politicians don’t do campaigns in Germany, you’ve never been outside.

Have you ever been outside?
