    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.

      To me it was tiring, it’s people trying to be activists 24/7, which is important but if it’s the only content and everything else gets buried then it’ll only appeal to a group of people.
      It lacks casual conversation, memes, shitposts, porn and hentai artists, more variation of content.
      Also bots reposting content from other social networks not helping to develop new content.

      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.
