How to get people to use Mastodon?
  • Heavily disagree about the server not impacting your content. Your timeline is limited, you're inevitably gonna exhaust it and browse Local. This had a massive impact on me when I first started using Mastodon: I signed up on mastodon.social, only to be turned off by the seemingly endless sea of politics. However, I now live happily as @ColdSideOfYourPillow@jorts.horse and can enjoy what I truly crave: humor.

  • What to choose between Lemmy, Mbin and PieFed, features-wise?
    • Do you want microblogging alongside regular forums?
      • YES: Choose mbin.
      • NO:
        • Do you want a native app?
          • YES: Choose Lemmy... for now.
          • NO: Choose PieFed.

    I've been very interested in PieFed and kept a close watch on it; the only reason I'm on Lemmy is the lack of a stable API on PieFed (which means no apps). Here are some of the reasons I believe PieFed is superior than Lemmy:

    • More lightweight to host; imo makes it "more decentralized" since the requirements to self-host are less and thus available to more people.
    • New and innovative features
    • Responsive developer
    • PieFed is opinionated to foster a positive environment. The platform itself is designed in some places to be unattractive to tankies, nazis, trolls, transphobics, etc.
    • I don't believe in seperation of the art from the artist. The artist somehow always profits from the art, be it donations, paywalls, etc. The developers of Lemmy are tankies, and one of them is a transphobe.
  • Not real... *for now*
  • Banking apps that need the ads to authenticate you for some reason: "Nuh uh!"

    rant

    Seriously, why the fuck do they depend on everything in your system to work? On my debloated Android there are like 20 different invasive packages that I can't disable because they break my bank's app.
