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

      I’m begging the creators I know to at least do double duty on the Fediverse (Mastodon, Misskey, etc.) besides Twitter even if they can’t leave it now.

        Except lemmy servers are defederating Threads. The fragmentation of the fediverse defeats the purpose of the whole thing.

          I don’t want to see threads content on Lemmy anyways. They’re different platforms for different things. I didn’t go on reddit for twitter posts either.

      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.

        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.

          Mastodon is just as easy as twitter, lemmy is harder than mastodon and it’s not hard

            I wouldn’t say it’s as easy at Twitter. Twitter has an algorithm so you can be lazy. Mastadon requires that you actually go find the stuff that you want to see. The upside is that Mastadon doesn’t waste your time with a bunch of garbage that “tHe AlGoRiThM” forces in front of you: it just gives you exactly what you asked for, instead. But you can’t brainlessly scroll for hours with zero input the way you can with Twitter.

      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.

        It’s actually a major, and documented, problem. Despite everyone born after 1995 being considered a digital native, more and more people don’t have any technical aptitude and are wholly reliant on digital support

      My issue is there’s just not enough content yet. I mostly only used Twitter to engage with wrestling fans (for better or worse), but on Mastodon there seems to be less than 10 wrestling fans total.

        I bet the ten of you could make a community worth joining. That’s a time commitment though. Could just 9ost stuff from reddit for now to build the community.

          Without any actual wrestlers or wrestling journalists on mastodon (which I am neither), there’s not much that could be done to build a community. Plus, I don’t have the time or energy to moderate a community. Plus, posting stuff “from Reddit” kinda violates the whole point of, you know, not using Reddit.

      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??

      Less featureful, terrible violation of privacy, no way to easily delete just threads, gives a known bad actor a strong foothold…

          Given that I’ve been going in an autoresponder loop trying to get some of my copyrighted stuff removed from spam accounts, Musk can suck 1000 tusks. Ah well, at least their failure to abide by the DMCA might be a fun little diversion.

      eeeh

      Even attributing the most evil intentions to Musk & Zuck (not hard to imagine), the Zuck still has some incentive in not completely shitting all over the EU and the GDPR, as well as this year’s new laws regulating large social media platforms.

      Whereas Musk seems to just… not care. I don’t think he expects Twitter to survive until the lawsuits go through and is just radicalizing as many people as possible.

      It’s clear that he is portrayed as a snake (did you read his text bubble?)

      Jewish or not, he absolutely is a snake. I don’t think anyone but you made the connection: Zuckeberg -> Jewish -> lizard.

        You’re wrong though. The Rothschilds are part of the conspiracy and they are jewish. It’s in the wiki you linked there.

      While I do agree with that, I don’t think that’s relevant in this case. Most people don’t even know mark is Jewish. Hell I didn’t know that until last week or so. I believe the joke here is that Mark just behaves like an alien pretending to be human. Hence the lizard people conspiracy meme.
