> Consumers want to not care about the details You are partly correct. They do not care about details, but they want things as simple as possible, and decentralization makes that harder. See all people complaining (or don't understa

Nice, maybe someday I'll give it another chance. My main gripe is the UX for some things, and how some features seem half-baked. E.g.: to add a keyword for a search engine, it saves a bookmark, but there isn't (or wasn't) any

if you have time booked on your calendar, no matter what it is, it's safe to assume anything else put on top is going to be declined, because you already have something scheduled. You can add a regular meeting for yourself too, instead

I already usually have a difficult time jumping in on discussions in person. Zoom is SO much worse. This week I had wanted to point out that I already added a link with examples on something two folks were talking about on a doc, and after

that's the thing: "lots of other instances" doesn't mean much depending on what you are looking for. mastodon.social has over 400k users, and federate with most of the 10k+ user instances. So, having lots of 1k user inst

No, you are missing the point of Mastodon. The point is to be a service where it doesn't suggest things for you. You can say that's not for you and stay on Twitter/Threads/BlueSky, but people move to Mastodon for this re

Just go with the "main" instance: mastodon.social. Unless you have a strong motive not to. Edit: I do love mindly.social for a more laid back/be nice overall sentiment. Although this week I decided to move back to mastodon.so

Couple suggestions: A lot of people join on a big instance (like mastodon.social, which is the biggest). It doesn't matter as much, as long it's not an extreme-left/right oriented instance, because those end up blocking or be

by FalconSensei 3y ago
and that's the whole point of the federation, right? Each instance can choose who to block or not, and life goes on

on the other hand, I loved Twitter when it was chronological, and hated it with all my heart after they started changing that. Mastodon is way better for me.

I'm not saying that's all the reason. But the thing - and another commenter mentioned - is that you kinda HAVE to live in one of those few cities if you want to work in a top company, or don't hate your live because of the wi

You could also ask yourself about the quality and type of life you would have. Do you prefer your life in Indiana, or Italy? For me it's a no-brainer that it would be Italy. Not much interest on living in the US, unless I was a million

I think either 5x6 or 4x8 are the way to go. Personally I would prefer 4x8, but my guess is that I would be more productive 5x6?

Honest question: for the user, how does the federation work if your "subreddits" (sublemmies?) are scattered between 10 different instances? On Mastodon it's quite a pain sometimes, if you open a link to someone else's i

Maybe the author wanted to be offensive, and we just didn't realize, IDK But as you mentioned, the author's estate, family and editors that worked with them when they were alive are the ones that can probably make the best guess.
