Can't argue with this one
And here I am amused to be reading all the Lemmy centric replies to a Lemmy specific meme ... but doing it from elsewhere on the Fediverse. Here on kbin we interact with Mastodon just like we do with Lemmy. It all looks like one wonderful integrated fediverse from here!
I've heard people trashing mastodon before, is there like a reason people don't like it? I haven't spent much time on it myself.

There are possibly multiple reasons (which i don't really agree with)
-
It's bad because it's popular
-
It's bad because of features
-
It's bad because the users
The people on Mastadon are why I chose not to stay there. If you don’t know and adhere to the “expected behaviour” there you’re the devil and a million people with furry avatars will surely let you know.
Can you provide an example of this "expected behaviour"?
Being self righteous and compete with others for who is the most morally superior. Being against any sort of algos that make interesting content. Being against trying to grow the fedi as it's "growth mindset". Against having your feed not being political and activist content that gets exhausting. Being an out of touch old white collar worker who has zero money issues they actually have to deal with
Sure. Agree with everything everyone says otherwise you’re a bigot/nazi/right wing homophobe.
Yeah... sorry if I am very skeptical of your criticism..
99% of the time anyone says what you say.. there's a reason for it.
Honestly I really dgaf. I have a gay sibling and a gay niece. I am an ally and a realist and if I call you out on your bullshit that doesn’t make me a bigot/homophobe. I’ve been arrested defending my sibling so I’d say I’m pretty fucking invested in protecting lgbtq people.
There are tons of people who are lgbtq who use that as a “get out of jail free card” every time they act like pieces of crap or hypocrites. Mastadon has a lot of that.
You asked, I answered.
Nah just the usual issue of nerds having a pathological compulsion to look down on anything that doesn't meet their arbitrary standards for niche technologies. Same with people scoffing at someone who uses too "mainstream" of a Linux distro like Ubuntu or Mint rather than Arch or whatever.
The current userbase of Mastodon are the most self righteous fart sniffers of old twitter. hopefully this will improve over time but half the content is complaining about twitter and how much better their little circlejerk of a community is.
That's what happens when there's no algo. It's just boring content that leaves the most boring people on there. I don't care to be gaslit by the same people saying it's actually better that way, it's not and why other social media platforms are more popular. But apparently wanting the fedi to actually catch on and have more interesting content is "growth mindset" which is somehow bad to these people. Then they wonder why people lose interest so fast.
You could say the same with Lemmy, there is probably a Venn diagram of a Lemmy user and a mastodon user.
Maybe you just haven't found interesting people to follow, my content is way different
LEMMY WILL BE OUR LITTLE SECRET
Funny, I still don't have a mastodon because I couldn't decide on an instance.
is this medge. Idk at this point I'm too afraid to ask
If by "medge" u r refering to "Mastodon", then yes. Otherwise no.
