Gregory's Server@atomicpoet
People have become accustomed to being spoonfed their social media that requires zero technical ability. The number of twitter users that just plain refuse to make any effort is quite large and we need to understand that this is also a significant driver in what platform will be successful. It is about quantity vs quality.

@chris @noondlyt @atomicpoet Hard agree. Most folks default to using an official app if they see one, and have no idea how much better the others are.  @stopthatgirl7 @noondlyt @atomicpoet Exactly. Same goes for the default web interface of a server. I wish there was a “Twitter-face” for it that could be turned on at setup to ease people into Mastodon. There is a lot to be said for familiarity to aid transition. @chris There are so many apps available for mastodon because it is decentralized. People should look into the tech they are using. We are where we are because of sheep and mob mentality. I have accounts everywhere and use multiple interfaces when available. Too many just do not want to make an effort to curate their own account. That's the second most common complaint: I have to pick what and who I'm going to see???? |
@noondlyt @atomicpoet I think it would help a LOT if the “official” Mastodon app wasn’t one of the least good options, it really needs to improve in a big way.
