Some people can't figure out Mastodon, but I don't think enough of the people who can't figure out mastodon are realizing that nothing would be better than twitter. And I mean literally just not doing social media anymore would be a marked improvement over using twitter
I think most of them just don't even know about Mastadon. I didn't until after Reddit announced it's API changes and people started talking about Lemmy and the fediverse.
I just simply had heard about none of this.
Well, I apologize for my slightly elitist attitude. I sometimes forget just how online I am. I'm glad you're taking a chance on this technology! I hope you come to like it! It's come a long way since I first tried it 7 years ago, and I believe is now viable for people who want to talk about things
I'm a reasonably online person myself, I think it just depends on how deep in specific areas one delves. :)
Instead of diving into the Fediverse, last year I was exploring Royal Road as a place to write and self-publish a serial. While it's getting better known, if you aren't in the writing communities it's less likely that you know about it.
For sure. I just made a really unfair assumption, and then phrased my "where did this assumption come from" really poorly.
Anyway. Get yourself something nice. Go tell all your friends
I have been spreading the word through my Discord, which has most of my friends and some of the folk who read my story. :)
I'm gonna be honest — I am actually enjoying Mastodon entirely because people have convinced themselves that the Fediverse is too difficult to understand. Right now it's all the fun and friendly nerds, not the bitter and hateful nerds.
