Agreed. There's a lot mixed messaging from the userbase where we're recommended to switch to Mastodon from Twitter but also respect that Mastodon is not supposed to be a Twitter replacement.
It may not be a Twitter replacement, but perhaps it can still fulfill whatever specific needs they're currently fulfilling using Twitter.
I'm not the best person to judge since I never really "got" Twitter in the first place, but the basic function of "announcing a small piece of text to the world" is shared by a whole lot of different platforms.
Yea tbh i respect it, ive been off twitter for like a year it was just nsfw posting anyway. but people are like "switch from that thing to this thing" then like "why did u expect this thing to be like that thing?!" like ??? Bc u claimed it was an alternative? So no wasnt expecting something so different. Would u expect a sugar alternative NOT to be sweet? If u bought a sugar alternative and it was just straight up salty youd be pretty surpised no? Ya it might not taste exactly like sugar but is pretty close and can be used the same way usually. Thats what makes it an alternative not just something else. I dont mind much tho bc like I said i wasnt even that active on twitter and it was just for posting nsfw not really following ppl or stuff.
