Does Mastodon need a PR person in each thread? I feel like I read a variation on this post every day on this site now. GP is literally just a comparison of Threads against existing, better known alternatives. Nothing deeper. What makes people so defensive about Mastodon?
- Doxin 3y agoIt's because some people really like mastodon and there's a lot of, at best, odd arguments going around why it'll never work. Never mind that for a large amount of people it's already working.
- Karrot_Kream 3y agoSure and I'd understand if the GP said something like "nobody is using Mastodon" but that's not what they said, they just drew a comparison between Threads and other social media. The defensiveness is off-putting. Almost like a cult slogan. I'm glad folks are enjoying Mastodon, and there's obviously users on it! Threads claims plans to federate with Mastodon after all.
