#Mastadon is trying to be #Twitter, but I'm not a Twitter person, and need better options to digest/navigate my incoming Feed.
So I'm thinking about some decent #activitypub based alternatives.
how Mitra social compares vs (streams) ? (summoning @silverpill & #hubzilla avatar astral projection guy, I forgot his name)
Or what should I know about #pleroma #akkoma #Misskey #lemmy , before investing in them ?

I am not sure who has not heard of #mastodonbirdui, but if not its all CSS tweaks to commemorate old #twitter vibes.
I personally love using it so much. I totally think it should be at most a choice on all mastodon instances or even default.
Go check it out if you use #LiveCSSextension on all browsers and copy and paste it into the live session window.
@rolle Thank you so much bro for everything you do with #mastodonbirdui

"Buy from artists and creators you like online...and "get off of #Facebook, #Insta and #Twitter and join #Mastodon and/or #Bluesky..."
#corydoctorow said some stuff on his post "Wallet Voting" Sep 13 2025 that gave me the idea of a new, improved, #lottery
A lottery where most of the money ⭕doesn't go to the lottery company, or the State, etc.

"Il faudrait quitter #X en masse pour résoudre le problème. Tant qu’il y a encore des millions de personnes sur la plateforme, ou que les gens citent des personnalités politiques via leurs tweets publiés sur X, le réseau continuera de contaminer la société."

SubStack really pushed the limits of how fast a platform can speedrun the full enshittification process. From idealistic founding to promoting unsubtle neo-nazis to vanilla app users, in only 8 years. I'm pretty sure that's a record. It took Titter almost 20 years to slide down that same curve.

EDIT: Forgot the link that backs up the promoting unsubtle neo-nazis claim.
Social media is an "unhealthy online environment" 🤒
The problem lies with the business model that underpins these monopolistic platforms: they promote ragebait to rake in the money.
ORG's @jim told BBC News what needs to be done:
✅ Competition
✅ User empowerment
✅ Decentralisation
