Tracketpaceri’ll stop being “a traitor” (??? seriously, infosec influencers??) when mastodon allows me to upload photos & videos properly & allows me to see the content i want rather than be forced to wade through unrelated garbage. why would i move over here just for a lackluster experience, holier-than-thou attitudes about other social media sites, & the inability to even promote my stuff anywhere near the level i’m able to on twitter??
Tyler B@Tracketpacer not sure about this traitor nonsense but I'm curious about how you're not able to "see the content I want"? Do you follow any hashtags (works on mobile apps)? You can follow as many as you want and they appear in your main feed. On the web app you can create "topics" by pinning multiple hashtags to one feed. Those two things alone have made Mastodon a great experience and I'm able to discover new people and ideas that way.
@Tracketpacer For example: I have several feeds of grouped hashtags for: space-related stuff, D&D, Urbanism/Transit, and NetEng. Each of those feeds groups up 5 hashtags into one feed - all separate from my main feed, where I also follow a few hashtags so I'll always see posts, even if I don't directly follow the people posting.
@Tracketpacer I don't use the Federated or Local feeds at all really. Occasionally I'll open them up if I just want to see the flood, but generally I'm sticking to my "hashtag feeds".
