I really want to use Mastodon, but it’s so empty. Even if you try to engage with people, outside of a handful of cliques, a lot of furries, and people with extreme or niche views on specific subjects it’s pretty dead.
Have you tried bluesky? It’s pretty alright imo.
I always considered it to be the spiritual successor to Twitter, because, you know, twitter birds fly in a blue sky.
But Bluesky uses its own unique protocol, so it ain’t gonna work with the ActivityPub stuff. But I don’t think ordinary people would care about that. We aren’t ordinary people.
I get like 500 toots per day in my feed, I can’t keep up :/
There’s actually a crapton of people out there, it’s just that there isn’t an alogarithm delivering their toots to you. You actually have to go out there and stuff people into your followers until Lists become useful. Which isn’t for everyone tbh
Have you tried following tags? I found a lot of people that way.
That hasn’t been my experience. I just don’t have the bandwidth for Lemmy, Discord, and Mastodon. (And before somebody says “Ditch Discord!”…I have friends on there, so that makes it hard.)
It’s okay I only use it for porn and extremely niche graphic art
Too political
Not sure why all the downvotes. He is far too political. Talk about not staying in your lane. Billionairism should be illegal, but at the very least allowing billionaires to assist politicians should definitely be illegal. The reach-aroundism here is at Russian contortionist levels.
I honestly expected lemmy to be less fu*ked up
I posted this as a joke, as I have little to no personal political opinions. The way everyone received it proves to me that lemmy is a far left winged shit place of a community that will completely obliterate anyone who says something bad about politics, even in a joking manner.
I’m barely for one day on lemmy and this is a horrible first impression
how did you get the name “furry” on pawb.social??
Magic
And trump.
Let’s all throw some in and run this bad boy ad on Twitter till Elon takes it down in a huff.
Please don’t give him money. This is so stupid.
Fr it has a, “I’m pouring out my Starbucks to own the libs” vibe.
And give money to Twitter?
If you also factor in further accelerating userbase and revenue loss, us spending that money actually turns into a net loss for xitter.
I’ll gladly spend that money out of spite, just to see his website lose users to Mastodon even faster.
That seems unlikely, especially if the add gets taken down as hoped. Then we give them money for nothing.
Yes!
Average fediverse user
If only someone used AI and got his face on the driver
Wouldn’t it be the face on the silhouette? And I think they did.
Googling it, it’s definitely changed.
Elon can be blocked on Twitter. It’s Lemmy where you’re force fed everything he says or does.
He owns the site bro, using it is enabling.
Yeah I don’t really care. I’m not as passionate about him as you guys.
No one forced you to stay here. Facebook may be more your speed
Naw, I block the string “Musk” in my feed, helps a lot. “Get off” did not trigger it, sadly.
That’s why I’m in this thread in the first place. Atleast include his name in the title so it triggers the content filters.
Don’t buy his shitty cars, either.
Finally quit after they jacked up the price for a third time.
And Netflix
I use Spotify without subscription, with adblocker.
What blocker do you use?
On desktop, ublock origin
On android, ad-silence by BluePie. Available on F-Droid
Today I learned that unlock Origin has a desktop wide version. I might as well start using it.
Here’s hoping there’s a Linux version once I finally take that leap. I’m getting sick of Windows (but unfortunately I still rely on it).
Is ad-silence better then blokada 5?
Spotify is still getting useful data from you though aren’t they?
I mean their recommendation algorithm is good. And the adblock is more about not feeling annoyed by ads and less about privacy.
On mobile I use xmanager patched Spotify app.
Only thing it can’t do is download and show lyrics
I use spottube if I want to download
I get contacted by Tesla recruiters often. My reply has evolved to ‘I will never work for that Nazi’

I learned that Boost allows you to filter out keywords so you never see certain kinds of posts.
So glad I don’t have to see Musk crap unless it evades the filter through being on an image, like this post.
Even normal users hate twitter
Weird, nutty, POS Muskrat.
