So, unfortunately when I go to Mastodon these days it's a bit of a ghost town. And I say unfortunately with sincerity - there are some things I really liked about the ethos behind it. However, the reason I'm posting this here is that I couldn't put it there without getting instant shit. 🧵

    “Ghost town” = Not driven to oversharing by algorithms.

    “getting shit” = nobody wanting to listen to a youtuber’s outrage bait.

    It must be confusing to log into the fediverse straight off of Youtube, though. “Why aren’t people compulsively clicking and subscribing to everything? How am I not being recommended radicalising posts by conspiracy theorists and terror organisations within five clicks?”

    “Ah, much better!”

      This comment right here. This is what he’s talking about.

          You don’t have to be a dick, you know. There are other ways to live.

            The problem is the lack of auto-hiding of comments like this. Normally, on a Reddit thread, this would be buried and shunted to a “click here to read the stupid ass bullshit that one idiot wrote and got downvoted into literal Hell” link.

            Please, give me that in Lemmy, instead of having to always look at the abysmal score at every comment.

            Oh, do educate me on my life choices based on an unrelated online comment, internet stranger 🙄

            FWIW, I’m living my best life, rejecting influencers and enjoying a low- to no-drama fediverse. Anybody feeling bad for a Youtuber failing to peddle their bullshit to Mastodon can kindly get in the sea.

            Have a nice day

      I geniunely can’t understand what you’re trying to say

      Perhaps the other reply was right–this comment is what he’s talking about
