Mastodon: come for the absence of Nazis, stay for the absence of advertising.

@weyoun6 to be fair, you also miss the battle between the current and former CEO of the horrid website in a battle of seeing he can post the worst take on the horrid website.. .
@weyoun6 I love it so much to have a break from "here, buy this!". And if you do too, think about donating to your server (in case you are not already).
@weyoun6

I was never advertised to in all my years on Twitter., I'll just go with the Nazis
@weyoun6 I'm not sure why I never noticed there was no advertising.
@weyoun6 Or the other way around.

@weyoun6

AND to kvell or kvetch about books and movies.

@weyoun6 "the absence of nazis" sure is a statement ...

If you've never been the target of them, I can see why you'd think that, but as someone who has been multiple times, they very much exist here and they exist in an even more explicit form than on BigCorpo media.

The difference is that they tend to collect on instances that will accept them, and most good instances block those. But if you've been on an instance that don't, well ... be prepared for some real nasty shit if your post reaches a nazi instance ... And not just some, a dogpile of lots of them, because it only takes one person boosting something you said for lots of them to pile on you.

@weyoun6

Yeah I've had to block several before my instance blocked most Russia based servers by default because seemed like those instances weren't moderating at all.

@weyoun6 This is perfect; no notes. I miss many of my friends back on β€˜the site which cannot speak its own name because it keeps changing and therefore isn’t sure what it is,’ but I miss neither of the things you mention. There are many other things I do not miss, but I cannot be bothered to take to time to enumerate them.

Thank you.

This is exactly why I’m on Mastodon. I’m also on Skyrizi, a prescription medicine that can help control symptoms of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Ask your doctor or dermatologist about Skyrizi
@weyoun6 the absence of ads is nice, the absence of algorithmic fkery is priceless :)
