I tried Mastodon and it was disasterous.
How can it pretend to replace Twitter when you can't even search what/who you are looking for?
Gotta get yourself weened from those engagement algorithms. The early internet was a wild west of links and word-of-mouth and reputation. That's what we're going back to. The withdrawals will be worth it in the end.
The nature of venture capitalism and the demand for infinite growth is going to grind the humanity out of any corporate project over a long enough time span. We're gonna have to learn the old ways of what the Internet is supposed to be.
Well said.
finding people that are unknown to the instance is a bit fiddely, yes. My mom and i made accounts and wanted to follow each other so we needed to make a post and give it to the other person. Whet pasting the link in the search the instance is forced to know the account and after it it worked just fine
