Gregory's Server@atomicpoet @stefan @fediversenews So why is there a statement like if you like Twitter try one of these 5 random services. Like I said it’s setting up a new user for an expectation that is almost 100% going to end in disappointment.

@atomicpoet @stefan @fediversenews I don’t know if you’re arguing just to argue but I’m just at my patience limit.  @kynyc @stefan @fediversenews Well, yes, that’s true. The interfaces are different but they all talk to each other like email.  @atomicpoet @kynyc @stefan @fediversenews Comparing by function and comparing by community are both useful. Without explaining the distinction, the site as is may make more sense to a technical audience than a general audience. @slowenough @kynyc @stefan @fediversenews It's impossible to say, "This is what this service's community is like" because the reality of federation is that each server hosts a different community. @atomicpoet @kynyc @stefan @fediversenews "the reality of federation is that each server hosts a different community" Any intro to mastodon or fediverse which didn't communicate this would be incomplete, no? (Unless you, say, recommend and assume the community of mastodon.social and similarly-run big servers if you're talking about Mastodon.) @atomicpoet @stefan @fediversenews I have a fediverse account but for some reason, I can not reach ANYONE in the world, as claimed. Nor my friends or any celebrities not named mark ruffalo.  @kynyc @atomicpoet @fediversenews Appreciate the candid feedback. Yes, these are not meant to be exact copies of each service, rather a few suggestions for comparable user experience. I'm also linking to sites that help you pick based on other criteria, and I'm happy to add more, if you have any suggestions. |
@kynyc @stefan @fediversenews They’re speaking in terms of function, not community.
