man... mastodon is so much better than twitter, it has a timeline thats actually sorted chronologically, no algorithm based bs, no ads, no crappy "recommended" tweets polluting the timeline. I never really liked twitter because it has always felt too... frantic? frenetic? I don't know, it was like the tiktok of microblogs, where things got promoted based on how much of an instant reaction they get out of you, I feel like this promoted short, clever posts which, both combined, drags any opposite sides into pointless slapfights, in comparison mastodon has felt so much more chill, and don't find myself opening it by muscle memory like I do reddit or youtube.

I hope to quit reddit soon, a year or so ago I noticed I was in a lot of subs just for the entertainment, no community or anything (subreddits like wcgw, idiotsincars, instantkarma, etc.) stupid point and laugh subs, I left those and am only in hobby subs now, now I just need to find a few replacements on lemmy to join.

yeah, and everytime I've seen lemmy mentioned on a place like youtube or anywhere else people make sure to mention the problems with its devs behaviour and/or some communities that are very hostile. Which is why I wasn't sure if I should use it or not. apparently the instance I signed up at has been brigaded before, I'd imagine by hostile subs like that, but I'm new so I havent seen it happen myself.

someone else posted a comment link a day after you posted yours, its explains about some very much fascist views the dev openly has. I think that's why they tried to get kbin to work at first, but mentioned they had issues setting it up, so lemmy it is I guess
