BeepLibreOffice Leave X/Twitter in favor of Mastodon
abbadon420I’m still flabergasted by the fediverse sometimes. I search for libreoffice in my mastodon client and one of the results is “[email protected]” and even a peertube instance.
You have to understand that federation doesn’t happen instantly. Your server has to sync with the other instances before you can find the account you’re looking for.
ageedizzleStuff like this is why Bluesky is more popular than Mastodon. We need to find a way to fix these little quirks if we are serious about growing the fediverse
Not always… making things too convenient brought us where we are today: a lot of people are stupid and don’t understand simple things. Call me old school, but I prefer to have things move slower and make people try to understang how technologies work, not feed them everything directly!
I like learning new tech too, but if we’re being realistic then we have to admit that the fediverse will not grow unless we spoon feed it to people. Maybe we don’t want it to grow that much. That’s a conversation we could have. But we should acknowledge that there are tradeoffs here
