I didn't participate in the campaign, so I can't really speak to its specifics. I have had a mastodon.social account since 2018. I created this other one, when people started blocking that instance. As for user tips... 4 comments
I've had no problems on there. There are a lot of people who are angry that it was made the default at sign-up. I'm not one of them. It seemed unnecessary to me, but if it helps people who find choosing an instance overwhelming, then so be it. It's kind of crowded, and it can be spammy, but I have a great enthusiasm for blocking such accounts. @dulcedemon Thanks for your insight! It's really helpful to hear about your experiences. I had no idea people were upset about it being the default, or that it was known for spam. D: I haven't seen it used that way yet (but maybe I'm not using/following things properly) A sizable portion of everyone I know who tried Mastodon left, and I've felt a little like I'm roaming around in the dark knocking into things while figuring out how it works. I appreciate you shedding some light into it! :) |

@dulcedemon Thanks for the info, I appreciate it and will look it up!
Similar to the theme of the original thread, it's a little confusing to hear that the default instance is one of the ones blocked by people, haha (why??).
At least for me, I thought the default instance would be a neutral one to join. I was hoping I could stay on this one, but it's sounding like I should consider eventually switching if I remain on this platform? :(
