- a_bonobo 3y agoYes, that's my other great disappointment. I moved to Mastodon but the communities there are too geek for their own good; very black and white thinking, very 'free is better than useable'. The same place 'surely this year is the year of the Linux desktop' comes from; very little interest in how the wider world does its thing.
- random78965 3y agoHonestly, why bother about the wider world when this provides an excellent filter for those both principled enough to quit Twitter and competent enough to join Mastodon? Sure, you'll have a high false negative rate (i.e., some great folks won't join), but the people who do will probably be more interesting to you than the average person.
