it's kinda hilarious watching bluesky users talking about how they have to stay on the site, even as it gets worse, because they can't go back to twitter! which is the only other option available

some of them are bold enough to think that there may be another option, built on some kind of decentralized open protocolbut the other atproto options just aren't there yet

I don't know why they have this huge blindspot for mastodon, but it is hilarious to see that every time they talk about the viable microblogging platforms, they will list every possibility except fediverse ones

@foone fedi exclusive here. If fedi ever dies we'll just go back to not having socials. This thing has utterly ruined us on everything else.

@foone I came to the conclusion that some people are simply ideologically opposed to the Fediverse. That billionaire-owned platforms aren't a necessary evil, but their preferred choice. I guess they feel pinko otherwise? 😄

@foone mostly when I try to promote fedi there people yell at me so I stopped :(One time I even had someone had a go at me because fedi is apparently anti queer? That was pretty bizarre

and to clarify: I'm not saying mastodon is 100% perfect or for everyone. Maybe some of them have tried mastodon and don't like it for whatever reason, sure!but my point is that they don't even mention it as a possibility.

it's not that they don't think mastodon is bad for whatever reason, it's that they don't think about mastodon at all

@foone I think they just don't see it as a viable platform because it costs money, and doesn't make it, and with our capitalist training that's just something that shouldn't exist. If it at least was spending VC money, and promising future income. But no, we are literally running "at a loss" (if you only care for money).

@foone I think people, especially in the USA, want a corporate for profit structure running things and a manager they can yell at. They don't trust a community project run by volunteers without a corporation behind it. They automatically don't take it seriously. They think that's a nice hobby for nerds, but not something they can really use.

@foone I think people in general are still operating on a centralized network model and would like to use something that is more streamlined and normie-friendly. People ought to learn old-school web tech and undo years of social media conditioning.

@foone@digipres.club I think it's because mastodon is very different from everything else, largely because it's truly decentralized:There is no global feed... so building up a followers list takes time... and you should probobly find an instance with a local feed you like... therefore, the official .social is not a good choiceModeration is done by instances and users... so you don't want a instance that's completely unmoderated or blocks severs because they didn't agree with a user.You are the recommendations algorithm... so go boost someone's bullshit., etc, etc, etc.I can see how these things would really put someone off if they are looking for elon-free twitter.

@foone Because they're not looking to share/communicate - they're seeking an audience.They're mistaking headcount for quality.
