also every time someone says "don't go on mastodon" they're always making some kind of unwarranted generalization of the fediverse based on their own bad experience on one specific instance. fediverse is the sort of thing where you can't really have another person tell you if it's right for you or not, the only way to find out is by trying it yourself.
@aisling the fact that people are still citing snouts.online as their fediverse deterrent baffles me. Like at least pick a *recent* example of whatever it is you think is wrong with the fediverse.
