Taylor LorenzBeen a heavy user of all the Twitter alternatives for a minute now and I gotta say Mastodon is my favorite. There are definitely some features I’d like to see here (like quote posts and a DM inbox), but the community on Mastodon seems to have the best vibe and there are so many smart techies that it’s been the most helpful for finding sources.
Dannyboyguyman@taylorlorenz A legitimate, potentially intractable problem with activity pub/federated platforms is replies to modestly high distribution posts are not visible to all users, depending on the ties between any two instances. This can cause the OP to experience a kind of abusive brigading effect when repliers can't detect multiple identical responses already posted.
Also difficult generally to detect and moderate coordinated inauthentic behavior in the fediverse.
