I don’t know if you have heard, but Loops.video is a Reels/Tiktok like app from the creator of Pixelfed. I recall it being announced, and checked just now on a whim. All of a sudden, it appears pretty close to ready to launch!

    Do you feel the same way about Mastadon? Twitter was the “look at me” social media. I feel like you just shout things into the void and people give you points for agreeing with you. Its impossible to carry on a real conversation on Twitter (a proper threaded message board like Lemmy excels at this). It seems tied in with the cult of personality whereas we need to shift to a culture of ideas.

    I’m probably just a stupid millennial who doesn’t get it, but Lemmy seems like the only really good fediverse structure.

      Yes.

      I’m not sure that’s my reason, but I’ve never understood Twitter/Mastodon. It’s just shouting into a void.

      Fully agree, I have masto/pixelfed client on my phone but Lemmy is the the one I used most by a long shot.

      Idk why it is but on other platforms I feel like I’m intruding on someone else’s conversation, but I can freely reply here no problem (to some extent).

        Right. And if you say something constructive, we can respond, and if you don’t, the conversation branch dies.

        Twitter/Mastadon do feel weird in that way, but I am thankful for Mastadon’s success even if it’s not really for me.

      Lol at first I thought this was a direct criticism of the person you were replying to.
