Why do all the threads I see with multiple replies just have "1+" near the reply button instead of an actual number? Is this a purposeful feature to keep people from seeking serotonin from drama threads with lots of replies? If it is, I am **in love** with this platform already.

@marcelo I think it's specifically designed to prevent snowballing/dogpiling/drama, which are the biggest, most rotten problems with Twitter. I think it's amazing if it's on purpose. No quote retweets either, for the same reason.

@Natsu_Kaze That's a good reason to keep my twitter account. I love drama.

@sjw @marcelo I don't get it, but I'm still cackling. 😂 I honestly don't really understand how this stuff works yet. Mastodon and Pleroma are both software for interacting with these communications servers or something? Pleroma shows the reply numbers? I actually prefer not to see them. I don't love the snowballing effect of social media, honestly!

@Natsu_Kaze @marcelo @sjw @Natsu_Kaze @sjw @marcelo Most people call the fediverse "mastodon" because they don't know any better and don't know the difference so it's kind of been a running joke.It's like calling all email, Gmail and thinking Hotmail and Yahoo just reverse engineered the protocol to also be able to send emails with Gmail and so you call them "Gmail compatible"This is what's always so frustrating. Every time the fediverse gets reported on in the media it's the exact same as if people were saying "There's this new alternative called Gmail network that allows you to send messages to people. The best part is that it's decentralized so it's really the Gmail network™."People who say "mastodon network" unironically soun like people who don't know the difference between Gmail and email. Then you'll get journalists reporting on AOL and claiming it's a fork of Gmail and also compatible with the Gmail protocol.It never changes because journalists have forgotten how to do research.Screenshot_20221107-235010.png

@sjw @marcelo Nice, thank you. I've been wondering about this shit for years, but never bothered looking. To be clear, I'm not an "Elon is evil!!!" refugee... I just figured I should do my part to try making this open source stuff more popular while it feels like people are actually open to looking at it for a change. I think decentralized internet/communication is important. ❤️ 💪

@Natsu_Kaze @marcelo @Natsu_Kaze @marcelo The fediverse (as we know it) roughly began back in 2010. Mastodon didn't come around until about 2016. They also didn't really improve anything. Arguably they did a worse implementation of everything. The only thing they did "better" was marketing. Arguably the fediverse has been around since before Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, MySpace, or even Friendster tho.

@marcelo Twitter's BUILT for drama, hahah. If that's what you're looking for, Twitter's definitely the place! 😂 ❤️ I'll be keeping my Twitter account too, but I think I'm gonna really like Mastodon as a quieter, slower alternative. I really like how the Local feed shows all the gamedev stuff on the server I signed up for. Really cool.

@sjw@bae.st @marcelo @sjw@skippers-bin.com I am a (crappy) computer programmer and semi-computer literate, so I vaguely figured most of this, but thank you for the clarification; it's definitely true that everyone is just calling the Fediverse "Mastodon" outside of the Fediverse, which is confusing. So the Fediverse is just... a collection of sites/servers with shared communication protocols?Like I said, I've been wanting to check this stuff out for years now, and now felt like the time. Appreciate the education.

@Natsu_Kaze @marcelo @sjw @Natsu_Kaze @marcelo @sjw So the Fediverse is just… a collection of sites/servers with shared communication protocols?At least for the particular software. I still don’t think diaspora has implemented AP support so you won’t be able to talk to people on diaspora from mastodon.For the most part, the current protocols in use on the fediverse are: activitypubmatrixzotdfrnostatusdiasporaSort of like how SMTP and XMPP are both messaging protocols but you can’t send messages from one to the other.Like I said, I’ve been wanting to check this stuff out for years now, and now felt like the time. Appreciate the education.No problem! I’m happy to help in whatever way I can.

@sjw@bae.st @marcelo @sjw@skippers-bin.com Also, I notice you can type like twice as much as me. Is that a limitation of Mastodon I'm experiencing? Or a limitation of the server I signed up on with Mastodon? Fucking cool/weird, hahah. This is a lot more interesting than just "It's like Twitter, but open source!" like I've been hearing.

@sjw @marcelo Thanks for the info. I was literally, just a few days ago, lamenting that the "old internet" of the late 90s/early 00s was dead, and that the internet completely sucked and was run by like three websites now. I came here to try out a new social media platform, but it's starting to feel like maybe I found part of the old internet, too. I'm legitimately hyped right now, hahah.

@Natsu_Kaze @marcelo @roboneko @sjw @Natsu_Kaze @roboneko @sjw @marcelo whether this becomes twitter 2.0. depends on the quality of end users and their ability to make mental assessmentsso, a loli check is neededthis image contains two naked loli, now let's see whether this devolves into a hellthread or notHusky_1667903068006_W3JXQ51SJ3.png
