Gregory's Server@rauschma I miss search a lot, even if just for my own posts. Quote posts is a vex, but not a big deal.
For non-technical users, having to choose a server, the endless discussion of why that is, and the lecturing over why it is better. The endless admonishment over etiquette, the lists. The intensity of ND behaviour, which is diluted on other platforms. The lack of access to public service accounts.
I’m still here and you’re one of the first people I followed, but it can be hard work here.
@rauschma So it’s not just features, is what I’m saying. There are huge cultural hurdles. The Fediverse is useless for news or updates about public transport. I can’t find out about a water main being shut down here.
Also, there are some who are aggressively zealous here about here. That alienates people and discourages them from staying. It’s like joining a weird cult, and you have to prove you want it enough to be allowed to stay.
But I’m still here!
