What do you like the most about the Fediverse and Mastodon?
👀
@Em0nM4stodon I read the posts I have shown interest in, but have no Idea what I'm doing, or if I could make an even better read. I'm an X doomloop reader but take salvation from the fact that I know the algorithm feeds me shite.
I frequently delete accounts everywhere because... what's the point?
@Em0nM4stodon the kindness! 🥰
@Em0nM4stodon That it offers a potentially community-run alternative to tech fascist walled gardens.
@Em0nM4stodon exponentially less nonsense and essentially billionaire proof.
@Em0nM4stodon the "interconnected villages" culture instead of a "one-size-fits-all town square", because:
it nurtures human-size communities: I browse some instances' public timelines directly because I know there's probably good people there to discover. I wish this was a first-party feature, like Akkoma has "bubble instances"
it simplifies the freedom of association: domain-blocking Fosstodon and a few other instances greatly improves the qualities of one's replies
@Em0nM4stodon
That I can re-read what I've posted and laugh at the content everyone else ignores.
@Em0nM4stodon chronological timeline and no algorithmic post recommendation
@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange Imho the objective killer feature is the interoperability between the different types of services (Lemmy, Peertube, Pixelfed etc.), but people seem to barely use it. It would probably be a big deal on the commercial alternatives.
@Em0nM4stodon
That it feels Real
