@wrack @Gargron @ryanroberts my observation is that Mastodon is full of people committed to Mastodon/Fediverse as a project. They tend to look down on more casual users without the kind of ideological motivation to the Fediverse project. Sure, I've seen that happen as well, but I can't quantify this to say "there's a reputation". On the other hand, I've seen a lot of casual users as well as news media treat fediverse platforms the same as for-profit social media, so they complain in a tone as if anyone owes them something. That obviously annoys established users. @Gargron @wrack @ryanroberts a user that’s been driven away or put off won’t bother explaining why to the people that drove them away…but will relay their experience to potential users. That said maybe the growth of the user base beyond the initial True Believers has made things better lately. |
@ouij
Where did I imply that? If you're already so hostile, it may be you who's overstating Mastodon's bad reputation.
The US market simply doesn't value what decentralized platforms build on as much so why not shift one's focus on other nations and languages.
