Oh I see plenty of people complaining but only a few are willing to try another platform like nostr or mastodon or whatever else.
“I don’t want a solution, I want to be mad”
- protocolture 4mo agoI have been a mastodon user for ages. Its a great platform. But I haven't been able to recruit for it. And the app I used died and was removed from the play store. I use it to read interesting conversations between european hackers. It certainly hasnt paid dividends to run my own masto server. I will be retiring it and moving my account somewhere else. I dont post anything there, because nobody I know is there, and so why care about owning my own data? Metcalfe was right etc etc.
- Cider9986 4mo agoMastodon might be better for corporate censorship, but I remember hearing that federated platforms can have problems with censorship from instances blocking each other. I tried Nostr but there wasn't a great algorithim. All the interesting things are on twitter. I don't really see a huge point in having an account on twitter, though—it feels like all comments go into the void. I just use xcancel.
- asdff 4mo agoRunning isn't any long term solution. That is why people are mad. Censorship follows where the people are. If a critical mass of people goes to mastodon, that is where the advertising and censorship will go. Just like how it went to reddit after a critical mass went there.
- yangm97 4mo agoThe comparison doesn’t even make sense. Reddit is a centralized platform, not a protocol. I won’t say it’s impossible to censor something like nostr but good luck with that.
