just saw a massive twitter thread about how mastodon is bad because it's hard to build a brand or an audience on here and hahaha bitch exactly
@prolezone huh. its almost as if human connection is more valuable to people than being your own brand. huh
@prolezone
That's precisely the point! Haha
@prolezone it’s gonna be hard to remonetize over here so it looks like we’ll all have to go back
@prolezone twitter is for strivers, mastodon is where i drink beer and talk about which kinna cryptid i'd give tha business
@jabyrd3 @prolezone it’s the jersey devil for sure right?
@burnunit @jabyrd3 the jersey devil can 1000% get it tbh
@prolezone @burnunit jersey devil and mothman
@jabyrd3 @burnunit I say this without irony: I would absolutely fuck mothman if he were real. I am not fucking around.
@jabyrd3 @burnunit I would also fuck: any ghost. Doesn't matter whose ghost. I would fuck any ghost in a fuckin second.
@prolezone @burnunit their cum is so magical it has its own name "ectoplasm" i mean come on that fuckin rips
@jabyrd3 @burnunit I don't usually get down with cummies but ectoplasmies? sign me the fuck up bust it on me
@jabyrd3 @prolezone @burnunit ectoplasm is their blood you’re thinking of ectojism
@FARTEASY @prolezone @burnunit mannnn idk i think probably they only got the one fluid and it's gotta pull double-duty
@jabyrd3 @prolezone @burnunit oh it’s the same thing I just wanted to type ectojism
@prolezone the orb brand is incredibly strong actually.. there are an indeterminate number of orbists utterly committed to the cause
@prolezone I'm going to guess at least 5?
@prolezone what. I can’t even understand the rationale for how that’s bad
@prolezone I mean. If your a artist trying to do commission work to get by then yeah it is kind of a problem.
@Sangria @prolezone this is definitely true, but that's why these two have to be seen as having different utilities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ like if you don't have bandwidth and your with depends on twitter, i don't think anyone's going to lose their shit over it. that said there's a whole art instance that might have its own opportunities available. it's just more options for different goals.
@prolezone people do remember that there was a time over there when that wasn't the reason people joined right?
@gdsk3k prolly not i think most of the big leftie accounts only joined after jon hendren goatsed a million people on the iran protest hashtag
@prolezone thats why we feel so good here. Let them rant on the birdside...
@prolezone Exactamente, ¡mala suerte para ti!
@prolezone probably part of why ive interacted with more people in my three days on mastodon than i did in five years on twitter
@prolezone it’s almost like that’s the dang point
@prolezone lmao all the hashtag influencers are salty
@blackcatsandbrows "wait you mean all the leftists are migrating to a site that doesn't reward cynical self-interest? i must dunk on it"
@prolezone bUt WhAt AbOuT mY AuDiEnCeE
@prolezone I suspect this argument would be equally compelling without the driveby misogyny
@prolezone Yeah that thread was fucking weird. It betrayed how so many ppl see social media as a career supplement, not something you could just get genuine enjoyment out of
@prolezone a social network that's just people being nice to each other and not being forced into a heirachy based on how many followers they have and their ~brand~ and no nazis, how awful! 👀
@prolezone i am enjoying that i’m seeing a lack of “twitter egos”. you know, the accounts with lots of followers. on here, ppl are treating one another pretty equally
@prolezone AHAHAHAHAHAahaha…ha…aha…AHAHAAHA
@prolezone Please share the thread with us! They may convince me to actually use mastodon.
@auroch @prolezone Adoctrinar hasta los Mossos merece una medalla. Para reír o llorar.
@prolezone They don't have much imagination. If they've got their own domain and host their own Mastodon for their own posts, then they have so much more branding than a stupid @twitter.com account with a dumb verified icon.
