@Stellario yeah, you know what? That's just bullshit and not a way to build a pleasant, inclusive space.
I love the comic strip, and I voiced similar sentiment a few times — some people on
do tend to act entitled or just meh towards fedi.
But that doesn't give anyone a license to call people names. That's real shitty. 0/10.
@rysiek @Stellario @davidrevoy
I'm sorry, "fedi"...? 🤔
@SOB2 @davidrevoy
Are you using the official Mastodon app or one of the other ones?
The official Mastodon App... needs some updates to be better, but many of the other ones have the option front and center to see the other Mastodon communities.
@davidrevoy I've never had a Twitter account, but I left Facebook, last year, and never looked back.
I was introduced to Mastodon through StartPage. It took some time to adjust, but I'm enjoying my time here.
The benefits of community and no algorithm very much outweigh the cost of time taken to adapt. I'm certainly happy to donate to Mastodon versus having my data and habits sold for Facebook's "free" services.
Most of all, I would have never known about Pepper & Carrot without Mastodon!
I'm not sure. The interface to post a new toot might be, the settings a little bit too, but here the global rules are far less complex.
I mean; they are consistent: the TL shows toots by date, no ranking algorithm to please with mystic tendency keywords, no random post from what your subscriptions "liked" or "replied", no adv in the TL.
These things are what I find complex to explain to a beginner. Here, it feels fairer for interactions, imo, and so, easier to get.

They can keep eating their tails where they are, I guess. XD
Un corbeau, ayant volé un morceau de viande, s’était perché sur un arbre. Un renard l’aperçut, se posta devant lui et loua sa beauté, ajoutant qu'il serait sûrement le meilleur roi des oiseaux, si seulement il avait de la voix. Le corbeau, voulant lui montrer que la voix ne lui manquait pas, lâcha la viande et poussa de grands cris. Le renard, saisissant le morceau, dit : "Ô corbeau, si tu avais aussi du jugement, il ne te manquerait rien pour devenir le roi des oiseaux".
@dgouttegattat @ScoutFinch You are doing great ScoutFinch! Thanks for your first message and welcome here.
Yes, "fav" was also used on Tw in the past before they replaced it by 'heart/like'. I prefer the nuance of 'favorite' as it can be a way to collect something, or give it a star. "Like" can have deeper implications and personal engagement.
On the web interface, I also have the "bookmark" option under the three dots (under the toot). This is precious for keeping docs for later.
@EmprexMintaka Oh yes, it is. It's require more than a single flap of wing to get here, that's what I wanted to show. I also wanted to speak about Twitter user saying/assuming it is too complex without even trying it.
Welcome here, btw 👍
@afastaudir8 @davidrevoy honestly, I thought that the people behind Mastodon themselves were the ones emailing me. That was my reasoning behind why it took so long.
Now the Gmail filtering thing might have also been possible, who the hell knows?
