    Mastodon is the most stable social network I have used in a long time. Love it!

      I don’t think there’s any advertising budget being spent on these fedi platforms, which makes it impressive they’ve grown so much from media exposure and word of mouth.

      Microblogging Fediverse app, Lemmy/kbin is to Reddit as Mastodon is to Twitter

          I think the most enjoyable feature is that there is no algorithm in Fediverse. And decentralization means that if you host your own server for Pixelfed (instagram equivalent) for example, your data will go offline at the moment you disconnect your server from the internet.

          Lemmy is great alternative for Reddit especially if you’re into tech.

            What do you mean by “no algorithm”? There must be something controlling the order of “hot” vs “new”? Or do you mean the kind of algorithm that shows you suggested communities?

                mathematically simple

                And, as far as I can see, neutral. Doesn’t put you in a bubble like other social networks do, because it’s not trying to milk you for engagement.

      It’s not like here at all. No shitposts. Only people who use their real name and work for some non profit sharing their highly intelligent news bulletins. I haven’t found any memes

    First time I hear about this but I can see already milions of rulles to accept before creating account so I’ll pass.

      So here’s my question: what content are you looking for that is forbidden in most circles?

      Furthermore, the state of bad actors on Reddit speaks to the failure of loose enforcement and a lack of cohesive rule base across the entire website.

      So what rules are impeding you to access what you want?

        No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, casteism, harassment, dogpiling, doxxing, no false or misleading information

        So anything can fall under those terms theese days. Sorry dude, this is not free speech. This is another facebook, twitter or instagram.

    Wow, two million users, congratulations Mastodon!

    Threads is at 100 million, so if they federate they will still be completely drowned out.

      I spent some time on Threads to see how it was and it’s a fucking cesspool of like-mongering and look at me oneupsmanship bullshit that was so fucking tiring to look at that I deleted the app after 4 days.

    Mastodon is where the intelligent people are filtered to from Twitter. The idiots end up on Threads.
