    Mastodon needs to get shiny and pretty and intuitive. Bluesky is gonna suck eventually because it’s corporate, the Fediverse will only get better.

    But it needs to lose the fucking github energy.

      Honestly Misskey forks for all their flaws can absolutely take this opportunity to properly advertise themselves as viable alternatives. As someone who uses a Misskey fork, I love the UI in comparison to Mastodon, and the communities in Misskey forks are a lot less techie and a lot more laid back and goofy most of the time from my personal experience.

      If it’s any consolation I am seeing bridged account for Mastodon over there. I think people will get more exposure to the wider Fedverse while they’re there.

    Running from one platform backed by people who supported Trump, right into another one. Gotta love controlled opposition and the illusion of choice.

    On one hand that’s a good thing.

    On the other hand you had to wait for our government to go fascist to start making the bare minimum of effort so here’s a temporary “Go Fuck Yourself” from those of us that knew enough to leave two years ago.
