I use twitter and I really like the furry art community on there. I also like Mastodon or related ActivityPub services.
Due to recent events lots of people search for alternatives and I feel just very frustrated see all those artists looking for Zucks Threads or Jacks Bluesky when Mastodon is right there, without a chance of a twitter situation ever happening again. They seem to avoid Mastodon like cats avoiding water.
What have we done wrong, and how can we make it better.

one thing that i heard several times from artists and makers is that they do not want to join Mastodon/Fediverse because “advertising” and “selling” here is prohibited, or they even tried and got rejected
I mean any art account of someone that takes commissions is basically advertising, and any chat with a user could be selling. Where is that prohibited?

<i> am not sure, its what i got to hear several times when i tried to invite people on FA or FL to join Mastodon/Fediverse
If they had a better understanding of the platform they’d probably know that such rules depend on the instance you join.
