Yeah idk, maybe I’m not that much of a micro blogger, i was never a twitter/tumblr user, so mastodon is kind of new to me, so I don’t miss any features. As far as UI, I believe most mastodon instances look pretty good, just not a twitter carbon copy like Bluesky, but that’s a matter of taste.
I believe the biggest problem is “clout” or following, with likes and boosts and stuff like that not being properly federated most of the time, people simply can not “grow”
A lot of people unfortunately. Specially people outside the US, I think mastodon is ready for people to switch, but nobody does, the most they do is switch to bluesky
You're right! I'm confusing it with PicoPixel haha
Yeah but it’s a Nextstep app XD
Yeah, I still find it impressive how good mastodon and lemmy are given the limitations.
For sure, and that is possible for personal things, but for social things it’s almost impossible to live without some features.
People don’t want to step down their level of comfort when it comes to WhatsApp (where I live people don’t use SMS because they’re limited), so you’re forced to either keep your contacts (which includes family) or move to signal/threema/session/matrix/etc. But have no one to talk to
Fr, I try, but it’s really not possible to get away from these companies.
Nobody wants signal, nobody wants mastodon, nobody wants or frankly can use openstreetmaps. Alternatives are just not good enough
Oh, I would want to believe in a god that isn’t based on the Bible and doesn’t demand worship
Un Dios más humano
A more humane god

I really wish I had people on Signal lmao
Fr, accessibility is def important and they’re not giving it enough attention
Yeh that’s a big problem too. People on Mastodon are mostly IT/Technical people and maybe musicians, some artists and a lot of activists.
I hope at some point people understand that Bluesky is basically the same as twitter, and at some point, the company can become evil.
But yea h, activitypub is pretty much immortal haha
