  • First of all, please read my comment again. These aren’t my comments, these are questions from other people. I have a Mastodon account. I’ve had one since Musk bought Twitter, and the one I have now isn’t my original. Because I moved servers and didn’t have a problem doing that.

    Second, grow up. You’re ridiculing people who have used Facebook since it opened up to non-students. And some of these are valid concerns. For some people they’re deal-breakers, and they should be addressed of we want the fediverse to grow.


  • I’ll say it again and again and again:

    The fediverse is hamstrung by the need to choose a specific server.

    I remember trying to help people join Mastodon when Musk bought Twitter. Every question I heard was about picking a server.

    What’s a server?

    Why do I have to pick a server?

    How do I pick a server?

    Then there were the more thoughtful questions.

    What happens if the server I chose goes down?

    What happens if someone chooses the same user name as mine on a different server?

    Mastodon, Lemmy, etc. won’t get mainstream traction until someone solves this simple hurdle.
