Fediverse is the over-engineered great solutions that most people don’t understand

Great! I never wanted 20 million users in my subreddits or irc channels or friend list.

We’ll all be happier this way. I’m happier this way, anyway.

Bluesky: install an app and make an account.

Mastodon: first pick a server. What does that mean? You figure it out. Ok, now select a client and install it. Doesn’t matter which one, but it actually does. Then use that client app to log onto the server you made an account on. Now you just need to figure out who to follow and you’re ready to participate!

I want Mastodon to work as much as I want Lemmy to work but as long as all the people I want to follow are on/going to Bluesky I’ll be on Bluesky too. At least until it gets entshitified and everyone flees again.

That’s pretty good though, there’s a whole lot of people on Melon Husk’s site that i wouldn’t want to see in my Fedi Timeline.

Gonna put this out there: the fediverse is vastly depressing and not very fun. Lacks creative-types, too.

I see why people would choose the alternative.

where are you primarily getting your fediverse access, because that’s not my experience at all

The general user base is off putting and creates a shit experience. The fediverse will unfortunately never grow beyond a niche platform. It’s a great idea, it’s too bad so many of the people are such shit. Even in this thread another user calmly pointed out what non technical users care about and sure enough, someone with their head so far up their ass they probably haven’t been able to walk outside in weeks is blasting off while smelling their own farts because it’s so inconceivable that some portions of the population may not be as technical or similarly vested in things as they are.

Something that could be fixed if creative types and fun people would just flood the place already. The place is being held hostage by social misers and digital HOA Karens.

They will not come here because there’s an absolute fuckton of hostility.

My favorite woman-centric community went dark due to lack of moderation. Mods left because it was so damn hostile.

The t×nkie problem is also pretty bad.

Federated spaces will forever be niche spaces, because of all of this. Say “good” all you want, but it’d be great to have mass adoption.

Aren’t you okay on sopuli.xyz? I now use lemmy.cafe as my main, they block ml, hexbear and grad

They could outnumber and shout down the existing user base in a day. The number of active users in the fediverse is quite small. A tiny number of toxic people have killed the open social web for the next decade.

Hey, I’m depressive and not very fun, lack creativity too.

I’m not disagreeing, just voicing my well, fuck you too over here.

(But bring some people over, post lemmy links on that skytwatter before it turns toxic)

And full of propaganda, especially from Lemmy.ml

Not surprising to me that its faltering, but very disappointing

Happy twitter is dying. For awhile I though modern society will take anything from fascists, but maybe there’re still some lines normies won’t cross.

And yea bluesky is just infant twitter, but it’s like vaping: may be not great for you but hella better than smoking.

Personally, I’m glad the normies are going somewhere else. They can continue to clout chase and post AI crap on BlueSky and leave it off the fediverse. I just deleted my BlueSky account after seeing the 20th repost of “post a selfie showing your new followers what they’re dealing with!” It was so cringe and narcissistic I immediately went back to the nerds on Mastodon. Significantly higher IQ userbase.

That’s cause the Twitter format is not for people who want the open source experience.

Twitter format is about self promotion, it’s not a place to discuss ideas anonymously.

Fediverse still has linux and github vibes. Which is good in terms of functioning and free and made in the spirit of comraderie. And bad in terms intuitive and easy usability.

Programmers either don’t understand that “nice to look at and use” is actually a really important aspect of an app/program, or it’s a lot harder to do that well than it seems from the outside. I really don’t know. When it’s just one person making the whole thing, it makes sense that they split their work where they can.

But when you’re dealing with a serious contender for a major platform, it’s not optional anymore, and it’s not a normie thing.

The Fediverse will exist henceforth as the place people go who are “fed up” with wherever they were.

I have zero worries about Lemmy or Mastodon over the long term, but I have no hope whatsoever in their popularity. We will always be one of the smaller, peanut-galleries of the internet, and that’s ok.
