Chris TrottierThanks, but I don't write for "most people".
I write first for myself and my own enjoyment.
If it benefits anyone else -- bonus!
However, if it bothers you, oh well 🤷♂️
So I just don't understand why so many newbs like ⬆️ that guy seem so angry.
He's not the first guy like this. So what's going on?
Is it just the sentiment on Twitter right now?
All right, so the more I think about this, it seems there's a lot of folks who are reluctant Mastodon users -- and they really don't like the notion of a Fediverse.
They perceive the Fediverse as a nerd concern -- and they sure as hell aren't nerds!
However, despite that there's a plethora of Twitter clones on the Internet, you're here on the Fediverse.
You're here with the nerds.
Because the nerds built something. And the nerds are telling you how that thing they built works.
Ignis 小火龙@atomicpoet Yes, you're right. There are a lot of Twitter users who feel forced to join the Fediverse, either due to friends moving to the Fediverse, or possibly if Twitter dies.
IMO that's gonna be stressful for both the "Mastodon locals" and "Twitter expats" which is rather scary.
Mastodon isn't a one-to-one Twitter replacement -- we should be saying this, to manage expectations.
