Also obscurity, practically none of the content creators or companies I followed on Twitter have moved to Mastodon and getting news from them was the only purpose of that site in the first place (for me).

This is the biggest problem with new social sites, the main reason for having them is the people on them (or not on them).

Which is part of why we should want all the popular social sites to be federated, so that holding the userbase doesn’t create an insurmountable monopoly and you can easily move to a better alternative without leaving your friends and content behind

This is why Lemmy (previously Reddit) is hugely more appealing to me than mastodon or twitter. I want sensible discussion and useful information, not to hear what some celebrity or internet persona is thinking about while they take a shit.

Knowing that there’s reasonable and friendly people like you on mastodon will surely help with the adoption

Think that’s becoming more obvious, as the general census outside of our fedi bubble is also that it’s becoming a racist shit hole.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
