It’s officially been over 3 years since I’ve starred on Mastodon. Rather then talk about what’s so great I figured I’d just list stuff I haven’t seen:
- I haven’t had any posts from people I don’t follow
- I haven’t been served ads for items I’ve spoke about near my phone or for that matter any ads at all
- I haven’t been served random articles similar to one article I clicked on out of curiosity like two years ago
- I haven’t been asked to upgrade or subscribe to anything
- I haven’t had AI shoved down my throat or have had AI slop dumped on me.
- I do not have bot accounts randomly messaging me
It’s better here and I don’t know why anyone would go anywhere else ..
@64bithero Mostly the same, but I do get bot accounts randomly following me. Mostly Palestinian "refugee" begging accounts that are VERY unlikely to be real.

@64bithero I subscribe to tags of my interest and I get posts from people I don't follow.

@64bithero there are quite some large accounts on Bluesky and potentially Twitter I would want to follow through mastodon. Cross posting happened for a while, but less and less. Bluesky is not only a platform but also a protocol to compete with.

@64bithero just like the earlier internet. Real people posting real things 🥰

@64bithero I have to point out that some people receive serious, life-degrading abuse, and server admins can have a hard time keeping things sane. Still, it is better here for most people than anywhere else. Great that you point up the positives!

@khleedril Mastodon isnt perfect. Bad people do bad things anywhere. We take those situations one by one and handle them. Together we can make Mastodon a safe space for all

@hteasley Mastodon for those who used in the internet in 1998

@mysturji I get retoots too but it’s hardly stuff I hate. Mostly stuff I’d boost myself. Maybe I’m just lucky

@duffelicious I’ve been encouraging as many Bluesky users to follow bridge accounts or set one up. Maybe one day they will just join the promise land

@bonkers I don’t use tags very much

@rbos I forget about the bot followers, never get messages though

@keremgoart it’s a wonderful thing

@64bithero I´m pretty sure a pair of bots are following me, but I don´t want to hurt their feelings and block them in case I´m wrong.

@mysturji @64bithero If someone I follow retoots I either turn off seeing them or if they are interesting I move all of their toots/retoots to a list. That way it doesn't flood my timeline.
