that’s easy to say. but finding an alternative is pretty difficult. mastodon is an option, but it’s to twitter what lemmy is to reddit. tiny userbase, and no discovery algorithm to push his opinions.
Mastodon is on a much, much larger scale and userbase than lemmy. I think its ready for primetime. Im just mad it federated with Threads
…Which one? /s
I tease, but honestly it is important to remember that Mastodon isn’t one site/instance/platform. You can find Mastodon/Misskey~Firefish~Akkoma/other ActivityPub microblogging instances that aren’t federating with Threads.
There are good videos explaining this point, Adam did a good one, valid point but as long as people cling to that site there will never be an alternative.
Has anyone attempted to add a discovery algorithm in a fork of Mastodon or one of the mastodon alternatives? I keep seeing that listed as a downside but I wonder if there’s any work that has gone into giving people that option. Haven’t really thought it through, tbh.

Mastodon is decentralized, I think you mean mastodon.social federated with threads
You are absolutely correct. Thank you for the correction.
yes, and jeff and other big people might make the first steps to bring the (normie) masses over.
I’ve been following George Takei for awhile now, he’s been pretty active.

Have you ever tried just not going on the internet?
It’s safe to say anyone who has tried, and is reading this, has failed.
Damn your selection bias!
Profiles like Tiedrich need that huge user base, they basically just post inane lowest common denominator diarrhea for people to say “this” to.
