  • This is a good answer and probably the right solution (still not 100% convinced defederating isn’t, ultimately, going to be the answer though).

    But your Jane/Joe Average User doesn’t look to see which instance that pr0n cute picture of a cat holding a teddy bear is on. They probably don’t even understand the concept of different instances showing content from others. Hell I’ve been online since 1992 and it took me a couple of days to get my head around it when I joined.

    So I think we need some kind of step by step “If you see X, then do Y” sticked to the instances that care about this for the people who (like me) do care about this issue.















  • I got on back in November but didn’t do much. Once Reddit imploded (sorry to bring this topic up again) I dedicated myself to understanding the Fediverse including Mastodon.

    About the same time I got an invite to BlueSky, so I’ve been comparing the two. BlueSky definitely feels more like Twitter and has some relatively high profile people on it - except they are really interacting with each other and other users in a way they did not on Twitter, probably because it’s so small.

    Mastodon on the other hand feel far more like a place to meet new people; it feels easier to get a conversation going with someone there, kind of more low key? If that makes any sense?

    My hope is enough journalist and news organizations get onto Mastodon to make it the useful service the bird used to be. We’ll see!
