Low Quality Facts

People on Mastodon: I don't get why more people don't join the platform. We are very relatable.

Top post on Mastodon: If you spend 72 hours reprogramming the 1982 Commodore 64 computer using a long-forgotten latin coding language, you can make it display a pop-up window that you would typically only see on the original 1984 Apple Macintosh. Go ahead and try it for yourself.

Hey! We are not all like that.
BTW, do you know you can run your own instance with GoToSocial, it's very lightweight and you can set it up easily by command line on a VPS, just remember to close all unnecessary ports so you don't get hacked, also some updates break the database so make constant backups and obviously have fun!

This is what brought me here back in '17. The place was full of wierdos with all kinds of interests--some completely bonkers--that they'd enthusiastically post about.

I don't want Mastodon to be the new Twitter. I want people from Twitter to come here and discover that joy.

@lowqualityfacts I wonder if @SinclairSpeccy feels noticed?
Show threadMichael FinneganOct 22, 2023

@lowqualityfacts the answer probably involves the vast majority of potential users requiring seamless simplicity.

Like: pick up a remote control for a TV that you never used before, it's likely that you'll have some control over the TV by simply clicking something. You'll soon figure out how to change channel despite clumsiness.

Ultimately: a single click from one channel to another, to another, to another, and raise and lower the volume, and mute, and so on — without having to think about anything REMOTELY like federation between BBC1 and BBC2.
