Feel like I want to push Mastodon over Hive, since this place already has much better infrastructure in place, and the federated aspect isn't as complicated as people are performatively making it out to be.

Hive still seems like a long way from being ready for a mass exodus, even though it more closely imitates twitter.

But then I'm not really engaging here yet, so I'm partly to blame.

@naylorben Yeah I mostly agree, people seem so confused by instances but then maybe a lot of folk browse random shit on twitter more than I do (not at all really).

@Psientologist @naylorben agreed, although tbh I think (barring a technical failure), people are still going to be using Twitter in 6 months time over any of these alternatives. Hive’s lack of web interface is baffling, and the app itself is slow and buggy.

@jcafarley @naylorben Totally agree, I think almost everyone is just checking this things out to "lock in names" although that isn't a thing on Hive and to have something if Twitter does just suddenly die.

Hive looks a little nicer, but agree no browser extension and it runs so slow being thumbs down for me.

That and no character limit breaks it as proven by JimTSG the other day haha
