Iron RaptorI am slowly weaning myself off the burd site, my depression can't handle that place
Kat the Leopardess@Ironraptor are you having trouble staying connected to people? (since not everybody is going to jump onto Mastodon)
@Catwoman69y2k not really, I keep my Twitter mostly for brief interactions, the scrolling through people's blather I do here because there is far less things that depress me or fill me with existential ennui
@Ironraptor right. but on Mastodon you probably don't have as much Variety in content, since you follow far less people here than Mastodon. It's a catch-22.
overall, I think that any social site has room to become a place that just makes you sad or angry. right now, I just feel isolated in a lot of ways. I over all hang out on social media very very sporadically. I'm trying to keep up on Mastodon and friend as many people that I know from Twitter but I'm not overly active in it.
@Catwoman69y2k I'm going to try and be more active here. And honestly getting more interactivity from you is always a bonus :)
@Ironraptor any chance there would be something that is created where furries and such can leave there profiles for Mastodon, regardless of the instance that they are using?
@Catwoman69y2k Well Hashtags seem to spread across instances. So... that helps? THis place is a bit clunky now, but then again so was burdsite when it first started.
@Ironraptor as I said before, the fragmentation format of Mastodon (the instances) is the biggest killer for me.
Twitter never had that.
@Catwoman69y2k the fragmentation is definitely what kills it for me, and really wish that were handled more in the background rather than having to directly manage it
Mycroft 🍊🐰🐰@Catwoman69y2k @Ironraptor if you don't mind me jumping in, the "fragmentation" is the major selling point of Mastodon. It's decentralized, so that there's no one who can ruin the fediverse for everybody. If an instance admin makes a policy you don't like, you can jump to another and bring all your contacts with you. All Mastodon instances can talk to each other*, so there's no need for centralization.
@Ironraptor @Catwoman69y2k (I'm a 6+ month veteran here at mastodon so if you have any questions on how to do x, or why does x work this way, I can try to help; I'm no admin though)
@Ironraptor @Mycroft the only thing I noticed was blocking on Twitter was that I could still get retweets in my timeline from that blocked person. That kind of thing was the only challenge in keeping my Twitter timeline free of the content and characters/personalities which I didn't want
