I miss being on the same platform as all these creators. I hope they come to the fediverse someday cause I ain't leaving.

    If they're smaller creators or fan friendly, maybe someone could reach out to them to help get them set up? More audience for them is good, and if they think they'll get value out of being here they'll create accounts.

    And all the comments are about how hard fedi and mastadon are :(

    I haven't tried mastadon but I can't imagine it's harder than lemmy. Plus they already would have more established apps.

    The problem I have with Mastodon is you need people to get people. And if the people I personally know and follow just aren't there, I don't… have fun there. Lemmy is much easier because it doesn't depend on personal people, but just communities. So even if there are few people, that's still easy to get more people there because it doesn't rely on many specific ones.

    Totally. Microblogging (twitter alternatives) have a much harder task because they depend on the right users. Especially famous/influential people. Post aggregators (Reddit alternatives) don’t have that constraint.

    Agreed. It took me a few tries to get into Mastodon. What helped me was discovering that I could follow hashtags of topics that interest me. That opened the door to interesting people to follow.

    I swear, many people are completely digitally illiterate despite being on the internet every day. Even choosing a server is already too hard for them.

    If they admit its not that complicated then they have no excuse for not switching and have to accept that they’re perfectly happy suckling on the poisoned teat of these platforms and don’t actually want to leave

    That's all I see people complain about.

    If we can do that here, surely it can't be that hard to just pick a server on there and follow people, right?

    I don't expect everyone to be a coding wizard, I'm certainly not, but how are so many people still so tech illiterate in this modern day that what essentially boils down to picking an email host is considered difficult??

    Ok but can we not depict a Jewish person as a lizard person. Lizard people are an antisemitic conspiracy

    While I'm with you on that, I am definitely getting more of a "sneaky snake" vibe from this comic, personally.

    Fair, maybe I’m just being a bit over cautious here as I’ve noticed a huge rise in antisemitism over the past year or so and would rather err on the side of not risking coming off as such

    I definitely don't blame you for that. Dogwhistles come with that little bit of plausible deniability so it's impossible to draw a hard line on this type of thing.

    Oh fuck. I always thought Zuck=Lizard person stemmed from the complete lack of emotion in his face. And all the other billionaire stereotype shit. Didnt make the antisemitism connection until now.
