@EatingHawaiianP1zza Some of my artist friend also felt that the tagging system implied they were not welcome, didn't understand the multiple feeds, and some signed up on servers that turned out problematic or intolerant. I can't really point to a single failure point. But i suspect the vast majority just dropped Mastodon the moment it wasn't like twitter, and that's at sign up.

@EatingHawaiianP1zza It's easy for you and me, for my family pressing X to close a window is still some form or arcane conjuration (with a fairly high difficulty too!) XD

Numbers show that people really bounced off hard from this site. I don't have a precise answer as to why, I'm not an user experience specialist. But i suspect the site was dead the moment people got asked "which Mastodon?" when they searched for "a Mastodon", a question most couldn't even understand the meaning of.

@tentree Yeah, engagement numbers are extremely clear, with 1 week and 1 post i got more engagement that i got here in 8 posts and 6 months. This social is dead.
@greyfus @tentree Spreading word is great, but one has to -at some point- understand that for a lot of people "decentralized" and "server" may as well be "magic", plus the fediverse structure seems to encourage a sort of toxic tribalism. The technical literacy barrier of Mastodon is too high for normal users, even when literally their home is in the hands of a deranged lunatic and the alternative is some golden-ticket fairy land (bluesky). The numbers are clear.
@DokoroNuki For a lot of technically illiterate users, the federverse is unintelligible, we're here to share content and enjoy art together not to learn which server likes what and what lingo must be used to flag and share. As a creator i have an economical reason to learn how this works but readers don't and the numbers are very clear that they're not coming and don't care. This site has no engagement and is already dead in spite of its mindshare and first mover advantage.
@AmharcOtterAD Bluesky's invite system is terrible and exclusionary, but so is the inaccessibility of Mastodon. Mastodon's complexity isn't going to be solved because it's a "feature" of the federverse. Bluesky's lack of available invites will be sorted out by the exponential growth of its user base a lot sooner than people expects. But also, in political terms, i do not want to support open source platforms that put nerd talking points above user experience and the democratization of access.

With the emergence of bluesky as a serious alternative to x/twitter, and having seen this social network failing at taking hold due to its foundamentally bad design and alienating structure, I'm going to suspend posting on and supporting this account for the time being.
