> I want to focus on the last point because this has definitely been a contributor to my recent ick. I’ve noticed a few folks getting frankly, horrible about people moving back to Twitter recently and I think it’s a bit unfair.
I think it's a bit unfair to say that "Mastodon" is giving you "the ick" when you really mean that a few folks on Mastodon are giving you the ick.
I'm on Mastodon, and I haven't seen this at all. I'm not saying it doesn't exist — a bunch of crap exists on every social network — I'm saying that the author seems to be guilty of stereotyping the platform.
- tedunangst 4y agoIt's weird how the people who find mastodon icky never consider following less icky people.
- mcv 4y agoSome people on Mastodon really do love to poke fun at Twitter though. I can imagine that real Twitter fans might not enjoy that much.
- lapcat 4y agoSure, I've definitely seen that. But that wasn't one of the author's complaints. Instead there was the rather strange complaint: > People relentlessly calling Twitter the “birdsite” Twitter users have been calling Twitter the birdsite since forever, so I don't get the criticism of Mastodon. Maybe now though we'll start calling it the dogsite.
