Seeing a lot of people over at Hive. Seems to be more Twitter like in terms of not having to deal w/ different servers to sign up on or federation.

@majornelson Hive is Twitter 2. The thing about it (in my mind) is that if I want Twitter, I stay on Twitter. 🤷‍♂️

Mastodon is 'the internet' (decentralized) but for social interactions.

I keep saying, Xbox should host their own server. It is fully managed and fully controlled by Microsoft/Xbox team and is accessible by any other servers.

@johnebs @majornelson I will say, though, as much as I like the better performance of Mastodon, it won't mean anything if I don't really know who anyone is here. Mastodon seems more like Reddit where I have no idea who anyone else, but I'm finding interesting content ... and Hive, while in a very janky and slow now has nearly 100 people I've followed in one day I know. (Creators, journalists, etc.) Mastodon does need to sort of simplify things in order for the mainstream to catch on to it.

@SpiderLuke @majornelson Hive is simpler to join. Put your phone, and done. Centralized systems are easier to manage and control.

Every individual person needs to ask "why I'm looking elsewhere?". If you are changing to the same thing, why change in the first place.

@SpiderLuke @majornelson And to be clear, I'm not saying the fediverse is better or worst. It's just different. Different good/different bad is up to each individual.

@johnebs @majornelson To be honest, I'm probably just going to be in both. I have a hard time being on Twitter now because Musk has really changed the tone of the entire platform. Might as well be called Truth: Musk Edition. Hive is to stay in contact right now for me with the majority of good people jumping ship from Twitter. I see Mastodon for me being an interesting place to have interesting discussions but rather with more random people that aren't known to me. Could change with more people.
