It’s self-defence.

It’s a bit dry.

“Playing and instrument”, for example, is likely not a tender accoustic guitar in the moonlight. It’s repetitive, monotonic, loud noise, that rarely resembles music most of the time, no matter the instrument.

Same with woodworking, it’s not sculpting a figurine with a knife and a pipe in your mouth. It’s FUCKING LOUD machines, wood dust everywhere (if you’re a hobbyist), every nook of your place becomes wood storage.

Most of the “attractive” hobbies might sound attractive, when you don’t really think about them and go with your first thought (that’s mostly based on depictions in films/tv shows, etc.)

Too much generalisation for my taste.

“Top 15 hobbies that sound attractive to women”

Yeah, they’ve implemented this a while ago, this year IIRC. People are on old information bashing Mastodon.

That’s juhst gayr propahgandurrr

You’re sitting in a throne made of shit, and you’re feeling right at home.

Just use Windows.
(uno reverse on ya’ll)

I’m just saying, that they are really, really inefficient as RSS for everyday people since the are more posts you didn’t subscribe to, than the ones you subscribed to.

Hence saying that it’s what people use them for IMO , genedally, is incorrect.

When you say “people…”, assume that most use the native app.

No u

I think people are tired of the 140 character type social networks, the novelty has simply worn off. It’s either self-promotion or “I had two eggs for breakfast lol” type of posts.

People who came to Mastodon, posted “Hello world!” and didn’t bother to set a profile picture or add a description will always complain about the lack of discoverability, or the place being boring.

You literally have to put in work to set up your feed, follow hashtags, people and post yourself for it to be a network and not just a feed of things. And I think people struggle with this concept a lot.

I do understand that it’s not for everyone. But it’s not a problem with Mastodon, it’s just a natural filter IMO. “You have to put at least this much effort to integrate”. Low-effort things are usually just rage-bait.

Both Intsagram and Twitter will fill your feed with random people / brands you don’t follow.

It’s all about the dopamine hit.

Sure, blue checkmark.

Mastodon is the only place where I don’t get triggered, and instead get inspired and/or informed.

Good moderation, no bots, no fascists, no “famous, because stupid” idiots. Just a nice bunch of people sharing cool, interesting shit. I absolutely love it.

Uff, imagine getting news from a rightwing nutjob owned social network. Big yikes.

I don’t understand. Mastodon has implemented global search a while ago. If I type “Steve” in the search bar, I get Steves from all sorts of places, not only from my instance.

Or are you talking about some sort of “contacts scan” implementation?

Because Lemmy is considered and made by communists.

Communists, tankies who will always rush in to defend the CCP and suppress the atrocities committed by the CCP, without fail. It’s both hilarious and madening.

Basically what shitposting is all about.
