Same feeling 🍇
@davidrevoy IT keeps all the stupid people out, so it's a good thing IMHO, lol

@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.

@davidrevoy

@Stellario @davidrevoy I don't know that we want to exclude the unintelligent, but leaving behind the impatient and kneejerk dismissives is a good thing, for sure.
@davidrevoy Merci pour cette magnifique création 😍
@davidrevoy it is pretty complex. And it might be the fault of my home server, but browsing people from other servers is hard because lots of their posts don't always show up. Then I have to go on the http interface, view more posts, and do the whole server-interchange thing when I want to interact.
@davidrevoy and also i dunno if it's that cool to feel superior about having higher familiarity with net tech

@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 god I love your art style so much, I remember watching your krita tutorials a few years ago and loving seeing how you built up your work
@davidrevoy Woah, I didn't know that you are familiar with Aesop !
@teteotolis A very good source of deep morale from an ancient time 👍 Perfect source for story tellers.

@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!

@davidrevoy to be fair, it is complex. The Twitter interface is very straightforward compared to the fediverse.

@baltimorelili

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.

@davidrevoy Perfect message and adorable art style 
@davidrevoy Web3 guys are grumpy that they can't figure out how to make money off it.  They can keep eating their tails where they are, I guess. XD
@davidrevoy The art in this is pretty communicative in its own way. Like I enjoy looking at it.
@davidrevoy hajahahahahaha, yea, indeed
@davidrevoy humanity is so weird sometimes
@davidrevoy But they look so adorable that I feel bad for them 
@davidrevoy I’m slowly learning. I’m determined to get those grapes… I mean, the fediverse.

@davidrevoy

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".

@don_atoms 👍 👍 👍 Et en plus que du remix un millénaire plus tard de Jean de La Fontaine, sa version est toujours plus courte, directe, et la viande à plus de sens qu'un renard qui veux du fromage.
Et la morale... "Tout flatteur vit aux dépens de celui qui l’écoute." de JdLF est quand même la pour accuser le Renard de parasitage, pour devaluer la faltterie, alors que chez Ésope le manque de jugement du Corbeaux est l'atout qui lui fait défaut pour devenir roi. BREF... 🤣 Ésope FTW.
@davidrevoy so this is literally my first reply on my first day of being on Mastodon. I wanted to like your post... but can't figure out how
@ScoutFinch @davidrevoy On Mastodon, “likes” are called “favourites”. You make a post a “favourite” of yours by clicking on the small star-shaped icon below the post.

@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.

@davidrevoy to be fair, it is a significant learning curve if the fediverse is an entirely new concept to you.

@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 👍

@davidrevoy this was an entirely new concept to me upon my migration from the bird site. But I'm always game to learn something new. I basically spent one half of my Sunday learning this and the other half playing Undertale. So it was quite an eventful day for me 🤣 🤣 🤣.
@davidrevoy The only turn off to mastodon I can think of is the confirmation emails being slow. It took over a day for mine to arrive!
@afastaudir8 @davidrevoy Mine may have came in earlier than that, but God it felt like forever.
@loser9000 @davidrevoy I was thinking Gmail was filtering out the emails for some odd reason

@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?

@loser9000 @afastaudir8 Oh yes, I heard some instances have a hard time processing all the new subscriptions. I'm sure it will be smoother in a big week from here.
@davidrevoy once it takes off its just great 😊
@davidrevoy I'm dead 💀 🤣 - great timeless story so relevant today
@davidrevoy new here, and can confirm, confusing
@Tortogus Welcome here and thanks for the extra efforts 👍
@davidrevoy dude I'm so confused but I'm giving it a try 😅
