Hey #twittermigrants — the purpose of the Fediverse is NOT to “be like Twitter but not centralized”. It’s it’s own place with its own goals and design choices
It has some similarities, sure. But complaining that Mastodon (or whatever other Fedi software you’re trying) “isn’t like Twitter” is a lot like moving to a small town and complaining it doesn’t work the same as New York
You moved here, take some time to get to know the place. It’s different for very intentional reasons. It’s not meant as a perfect replacement, but an alternative way to have social media on the web.
