Mastodon – more like Mastodong lol
Pleroma/Akkoma, Misskey, Kbin are better, and even Twitter alternatives Bluesky and Threads are better
It might seem like there’s little traffic on the site… until you say #Ukraine then all of a sudden you’re going to be deluged with some of the most unhinged liberals on this side of the internet.
I only have the same issue with Mastadon that I do with Lemmy, I have no idea what instance to join. This one I’m apart of now for Lemmy I randomly joined when the admin said he’d accept reddit refugees who wanted to try out Lemmy.
If anyone has any suggestions for good instances to pick I’d give Mastadon a try. Otherwise, it’s a nightmare for people like me (who’s been compared to Chidi from The Good Place in terms of my overthinking and decision making).
Instance is like ISP. It’s an important part of the infrastructure, and in principle it does matter, but for 90% of cases it doesn’t make much difference.
Unpopular opinion I know. But lots of people who would love Mastodon never sign up because there is such unreasonable emphasis on choosing an instance. Just pick a large stable one, then you can switch if you want later once you get to know the platform.
Does this include Gab?
