Boy, there sure are a lot of people who just emphatically hate Mastodon, and want to make sure other people hate Mastodon too.

In the wake of Twitter's ongoing collapse, there's just been a phenomenal amount of "Stay away from Mastodon!" And "Let me tell you the critical, unfixable problems with Mastodon" posts.

I'm not quite sure I get it.

Anyway, it's cool here, and I love it here.

@Phorm At this stage I just go "if it's not your thing, I get it." Can lead a horse to water but you can't make a horse drink.

@JoyfulSkunk Oh, for sure. I'm just surprised at like... The hostility? That sometimes comes through?

There are a few people out there basically implying that if you participate here you are BAD and a PROBLEM. And it's coming from some sources I would not anticipate.

@Phorm it’s also kinda interesting because every social media platforms has their own problems

@rope For sure. It sort of feels like a case of letting Perfect be the enemy of really good.

@JoyfulSkunk also, Water Balloon TF is very good in some very specific locations.

Open the valve!!

Does it say something when I read the CW and my brain auto-completes it to "Ongoing Calamity, Elon Musk" like it's a title in an MMORPG, hovering over his name?

He throws exploding cars at you, while stealing the XP you earned elsewhere in the game and claiming it as his own.

@Phorm

There's a lot of "feature not bug" in those posts.

Besides this is one of the very few social media sites I've been on where I trust the admin to do the right thing. Or at least best attempt.

Social Media, Ongoing Calamity

@001zlnv Absolutely and emphatically agreed.

It's so _nice_ not to worry about every aspect of my participation being monetized, and I trust the admin implicitly as well.

re: Social Media, Ongoing Calamity

@Phorm Yeah, like.... seems fine over here? This has always been a slower-paced, more enjoyable part of the net.

re: Social Media, Ongoing Calamity

@Soreth

For certain. That's like the whole appeal!!

@Phorm

Twitter's been a thing since 2006. That's over 15 years. That gum that they like has gone out of style.
