- AlexandrB 4y agoYup. Now I spend way too much time posting on HN. I did try Mastodon for a while, but it wasn't as "sticky".
- MiguelX413 4y agoThe Fediverse isn't trying to be a stand-in alternative, nor should it be used as one. It won't algorithmically serve content to maximize your engagement and attention to sell to advertisers. It's there for those who are interested in it. Some just find it a more libre platform that's useful as they want to move away from Twitter. I say this as someone who has been on the Fediverse for years but has never in their life used Twitte for more than a day, or ever enjoyed it.
