One of the things I love most about the fediverse/mastodon is that most of the tech people who I think are jerks think it is a failure and don't bother to join.

One of the things I love most about the fediverse/mastodon is that most of the tech people who I think are jerks think it is a failure and don't bother to join. The resulting tech community is way more progressive and kind than most tech communities.
- lokedhs 4y agoPeople will probably downvote you for that statement (and me, for replying to you) but there is something to what you're saying. The people who consider it a failure are the same people who are looking for a platform to broadcast their opinions from, rather than having an interesting conversation. Of course they're not going to find what they are looking for on the Fediverse, and that's fine. Most of people on the Fediverse are notified looking for that anyway.
- dumpsterlid 4y agoYah exactly, the amount of positive interaction I have with people on the fediverse absolutely blows every other online social media platform out of the water. People start conversations with me all the time about really interesting stuff and most of my posts get far more interaction than they ever would on another social media platform.
