Welcome, im trying to be more engaged on here. It will be growing pains but we'll get there
glad im not the only one thinking like this
Same here, glad to be doing this with all of you
I keep Twitter on just because it's the most effective way of getting tech support from some of the companies in my country. But I am avoiding using it on a principle. Reddit, well... the way it turned out doesn't rub me the right way. This is good enough for now, hopefully it grows into something more reliable and as equally informative.
This is the way
One of us .. ONE OF US .. O N E O F US!!
Welcome!
Twitter is alot more fun now though.
NICE
I just joined Lemmy today for this same reason. Let's see how it goes.
Not so much the big tech it’s the level of invective of the people on said platforms..
I know the fact that it doesn't have one is kind of a feature, but I do wish Mastodon had some sort of algorithm feed. I liked that after I liked a couple of football/soccer tweets, Twitter started surfacing popular football tweets, even if they didn't have any hashtags.
Honestly just don't bother with mastodon.
I deleted Twitter years ago and don't miss it at all.
