For the people asking why stay on it: the simple fact is most gaming news still drops there first. I enjoy Mastodon but itโs not enough just yet. I also wonโt be putting all my eggs in one social basket. And Mastodon certainly has itโs own set of issues. @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux Happy you bring news on Mastodon, I don't care what other social media networks you use. @gamingonlinux Twitter has been out there since 2006, and basically everyone is on it. Mastodon became popular recently, and even though there was a migration from Twitter, it had zero impact on the overall news. Mastodon and ActivityPub are the future. We just aren't on it yet. @gamingonlinux thankful we can still get your updates from here. Honestly one of the gaming sites I read the most. At least I know I can still see your new stuff via here ๐ @gamingonlinux sure they will drop there but will you be able to read them? :D @gamingonlinux This is confusing to me when most people can't see your posts there anymore anyway, even intentionally. It's up to you ultimately but I fail to see this as a valid reason with the rate limit restriction @gamingonlinux personally getting feedback on masto is miles ahead but news access must get better too. I think once Console and Tech manufacturers come to masto or other alternatives burd app will become irrelevant. @gamingonlinux thatโs why Iโm excited for Instagram Threads. Even though itโs Meta.. I just dislike Elon/Twitter more @gamingonlinux this is the major issue for me. There just isn't enough traction yet. I do hope it increases as these centralised platforms continue to abuse their power. I don't know what it will take for people to understand the utter stupidity of depending on a handful of central platforms for global digital communication. To me multi-platform is the only solution, spread those eggs. |
@gamingonlinux what is the logic in staying? When it was open to the public maybe, but now that it's clearly a private space with rate limiting and an echo chamber, why stay?
