"The "fediverse" is the future of social media"

I mean a person even having heard of the fediverse is miles better than doomscrolling twitter or reddit
- Can't argue with this one
And here I am amused to be reading all the Lemmy centric replies to a Lemmy specific meme ... but doing it from elsewhere on the Fediverse. Here on kbin we interact with Mastodon just like we do with Lemmy. It all looks like one wonderful integrated fediverse from here!

FTFY
- Giving a new meaning to nose job
- Lol
I've heard people trashing mastodon before, is there like a reason people don't like it? I haven't spent much time on it myself.
- The people on Mastadon are why I chose not to stay there. If you don’t know and adhere to the “expected behaviour” there you’re the devil and a million people with furry avatars will surely let you know.
  
  Can you provide an example of this "expected behaviour"?
- There are possibly multiple reasons (which i don't really agree with)
  
  It's bad because it's popular
  
  It's bad because of features
  
  It's bad because the users
- Nah just the usual issue of nerds having a pathological compulsion to look down on anything that doesn't meet their arbitrary standards for niche technologies. Same with people scoffing at someone who uses too "mainstream" of a Linux distro like Ubuntu or Mint rather than Arch or whatever.
The current userbase of Mastodon are the most self righteous fart sniffers of old twitter. hopefully this will improve over time but half the content is complaining about twitter and how much better their little circlejerk of a community is.
- That's what happens when there's no algo. It's just boring content that leaves the most boring people on there. I don't care to be gaslit by the same people saying it's actually better that way, it's not and why other social media platforms are more popular. But apparently wanting the fedi to actually catch on and have more interesting content is "growth mindset" which is somehow bad to these people. Then they wonder why people lose interest so fast.
- You could say the same with Lemmy, there is probably a Venn diagram of a Lemmy user and a mastodon user.
  
  its way worse on mastodon. if you want proof do to https://mastodon.social/explore and look around
- Maybe you just haven't found interesting people to follow, my content is way different
LEMMY WILL BE OUR LITTLE SECRET
Funny, I still don't have a mastodon because I couldn't decide on an instance.
is this medge. Idk at this point I'm too afraid to ask
- If by "medge" u r refering to "Mastodon", then yes. Otherwise no.
