I might move off of Kolektiva. My girlfriend has an account on mastodon.art, and I don’t understand why they blocked kolektiva. Anyone have suggestions on an alternate instance? I don’t know anything about why the decision was made, and I’m not really looking to learn about whatever drama is going on. I’m just here to talk to people. Maybe there’s a small instance that I’d fit into better? 😵‍💫

Honestly, I haven’t been as into mastodon lately anyway. There’s generally only like 2-3 people that actually interact with me. Between the learning curve and all the weird things going on behind the scenes that I have no knowledge or control over, maybe this just isn’t a good social network fit for me. (which is disappointing because I’ve met some really cool folks)

I just want to share art and talk with cool people, and not have to worry about whether or not people I care about will still be able to see my posts, or if some weird argument in the background is going to cause me to lose connection.

Say what you will about big social media companies controlling who sees what with algorithms, but honestly, how is two major instances blocking each other any different?

I guess I’m just starting to think that this platform isn’t for me.

@SinEater I think it will at least be interesting to watch how it will disintegrate because of drama and defederation, or from some other causes. There might be something to learn from
