Exactly how I feel. I hope Mastodon perfectly serves the needs of people who consider it their platform of choice, I simply know that is not and will never be me.

I think if you're in a headspace where you can develop genuine vendettas against other people because they like an open source social media website you don't like, you should probably get a hobby

Same here. Mastodon and the Fediverse have a reason to exist and serve their communities well. It's just not my cup of tea The Atmosphere feels like a metropolis, while the Fediverse feels like a region full of small towns; towns that sometimes burn bridges between them

Call me shallow, but In the two or three weeks I was on Mastodon, it seemed more like a place for people to post their term papers or opinion pieces they couldn't sell rather than an actual social media site that involved conversational exchanges or even rants. #BigYawn

Not being able to customize the trigger/spoiler hide/show behaviour was a major irritant for me. Useful tool, but could I turn it off? Not then, and apparently not now.

Yes we have fun here

I'm enjoying Bluesky a lot more than Mastodon also. Aside from the ethno-facists, sex pests and other degenerates, everything else on X that gave me a rash or made me twitch deep in my anti-authoritarian bones was 100%worse on Mastodon.

Although I mainly got sucked in by Hellthread because it felt like old school IRC. By the time that got shut down, I had a core group of interesting people to follow.

I definitely prefer to use Bluesky, but I've literally never had either of these problems on the infosec.exchange instance. But the nature of the instance also makes it feel like it's not an appropriate forum for most non-tech posting.

I think I’m still giving the guy who’s instance I was on $5 a month Which I’m happy to do even though I hardly ever visit

like nope, no thank you, not interested right out of the gate on that basis alone
