What is it with the furry art community and mastodon? (kbin.social)

I use twitter and I really like the furry art community on there. I also like Mastodon or related ActivityPub services.

Due to recent events lots of people search for alternatives and I feel just very frustrated see all those artists looking for Zucks Threads or Jacks Bluesky when Mastodon is right there, without a chance of a twitter situation ever happening again. They seem to avoid Mastodon like cats avoiding water.
What have we done wrong, and how can we make it better.

@Alexmitter @Wander @kitsuneofinari @Mugox
<i> am not sure, its what i got to hear several times when i tried to invite people on FA or FL to join Mastodon/Fediverse

If they had a better understanding of the platform they'd probably know that such rules depend on the instance you join.

@Wander today i would suggest for example https://mastodon.art/@Curator/110655120117161036

But back in 2022 things might have been too early and we lost the opportunity

I think that this is kind of a pattern. Different rules and de-federation between instances that confuses new users. But how could this pattern be broken.

[–] crazy_pony@rubber.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@Alexmitter @Wander @kitsuneofinari @Mugox seemingly random and unknown de-federation or at least muting between instances confuses still even the old users beeing here for more then 5 years

(currently i am in a situation where i dont know if some 2 persons on meow.social either deliberately ignore my contact attempts since a year, or if they technically never have seen my messages)
