Ben AvelingMastodon users: Mastodon is not Twitter.
Twitter users: Until Mastodon is Twittter, Mastodon is not a replacement for Twitter.
(No QT here for you to dump on people involved, because #MastodonIsNotTwitter)
SSFC KDT (MOVED)@mike I took a ton of flack for this position a few weeks back. But it's the truth. #MastodonIsNotTwitter
Arena Cops 🇺🇦✌@nicholasr @futurebird The greatest persisting advantage of the #Fediverse is that it's not a compromised, corrupt & unethical #BigAntiSocial.
Let's keep it like that!

George CzernuszkaI see quite a few posts which just consist of a web link. Not helpful, as no real indication of what the story is.
Please, if you include a web link, do summarise the story in your post. Then we can see what it’s about and follow the link for more details.
Otherwise, it’s just more noise cluttering up the feed.
@mike_logic It's like mastodon's wise folks use to say:
On the birdsite their algorithms control & manipulate your timeline & behavior,
while here, you're having the chance to be the (free) "algorithm" to make the best of your & others' timeline — which even works without #QTs!
@iamcanehdian @liztai @Quinnae_Moon Yup. The birdsite did not really fundamentally change for the better by the introduction of "quote tweets", so why shouldn't we be fine without sth like it here!
It's not an essential or vital thing necessary to keep us moving forward.
😎👈 It may be shocking to some birdsite émigrées, but guess what:
There was a time, when "quote tweets" didn't exist on the birdsite!
@iamcanehdian @liztai @Quinnae_Moon For many birdsite émigrés adapting to the lack of "quote tweets" is like being tossed into cold turkey.
While it's basically just a matter of newly familiarizing with conditions existing here.
IMO everyone should be able to survive without #QT.
Sova@taylorlorenz don't repost, join the discussion. If you comment on someone else's post, it will show up for your followers.
People need to rember this is a social networking tool, not a social media site. Use it to build a following of your own social media platforms like your profile at WaPo, medium, substack, or your personal website.
Please stop complaining that Mastodon is not Twitter. It isn't that way for a reason. Keep #kevetching and people will unfollow you #MastodonisNOTtwitter
Randi Mason @ glammr.usYou do think twice about posting an image on Mastodon for a joke when you realize it’s going to take a few minutes more to describe what that image is and that your description is not going to do it justice for anyone partially sighted. #ableism #ImageDescriptions #MastodonIsNotTwitter #ButIShouldHaveDoneThatOnTwitterToo
