Isn't picking a server the whole point of Mastodon's federated nature rather recommending everyone to the main instance?

There was a time Mastodon closed off registrations to promote this.

As much as Mastodon is an 'alternative' I don't see any traction with people who don't care about tech on it.

yeah almost a decade mastodon has launched and still no traction compared to bsky (even had an invite system) and still surpassed mastodon in active users.

adapt or die.

you might want to remove the bluesky paraquet and duckdb datasets from here as the dataset is still there.

i wouldn't be surprised but probably or likely apple's rules.
maybe
@tomfulp.newgrounds.com could confirm. but that is my guess.

lol no u didn’t

mimicking most of twitter features and looking and feeling like twitter.

mastodon is very confusing and adoption didn’t pick up on every change elon made.

he deleted his account on bluesky and he is off the bluesky board.

he is not here.
November 11, 2024 at 2:20 AM
and where is his account?
November 11, 2024 at 2:10 AM
he isn’t here anymore

previous times are probably minor issues nobody cares about.

the blockchain association is new and sus for people now just moving over bsky.

unlikely they can keep their word now that they have taken cash from a pro-crypto/blockchain vc.

still skeptical but we’ll see.
October 24, 2024 at 8:56 PM
ok cool but please don't stuff this app with blockchain into a new app or in the near future.

> someone on mastodon saw it

“which instance?”

I don’t think I would want to know which instance, as I cba or care to know.

But what you said is 100% true.

on mickey mouse copyright expiration day.

take that disney.

this is the worst of outcome of any mastodon instance except for the bigger ones.

just wait until meta comes along how many instances will defederate from each other.
July 3, 2023 at 7:27 PM
for real this actually happened, but not about pizza.
July 3, 2023 at 7:13 PM
not really, picking a server is too much a step for most people.

they would rather get a invite to bsky than choose from over thousands of instances.
July 3, 2023 at 7:12 PM
eh no.
