I know mastodon.social is seen as a detriment to some in the fediverse
But have you ever considered my story?
Joined in 2016
Came back in 2018
Built an audience around my new project @pixelfed
We take m.s for granted, a large part of the fediverse literally wouldn't exist unless @Gargron built a suitable GNU/Social successor.
The fediverse is quick to point fingers at Mastodon and Gargron, but thanks to him, you have a platform to do that on.
We love you big G, you are my hero ❤️

@dansup @pixelfed so true! thanks so much for everything you did @Gargron ! I am not sure if the fediverse would even be a thing without @Mastodon !!!

@dansup @pfefferle @pixelfed @Gargron @Mastodon this is how it shaped the current Fediverse, for better and for worse. In terms of AP support, Mastodon is severely lacking in some areas, but it also introduced some much-needed enhancements (shared inbox for example IIRC).

@dansup @pfefferle @pixelfed @Gargron @Mastodon to be pedantic, AP is based on the pre-existing OStatus, of which Mastodon wasn't even the primary implementation. But when AP was published, Mastodon was among the first if not the first functional implementation to switch over, and effectively “defined” a number of aspects that the spec didn't make clear, in addition to independent APIs.

@dansup @pixelfed @Gargron the fashy mods, tho. The raging zionism, christofascism and suppression of any and every opinion that might expose those.
Very X. Much Musky. Such Zuck. How Dorsey.
Have you all considered that?
Strong supporter of #pixelfed. Not of m.s.

@dansup @benroyce @pixelfed @Gargron what is the relevance of the PixelFed promotion here? It feels shoehorned in and really crassly so. Okay, you came back and built an app… so?
Gargron was happy for you and tooted about it but what's that gotta do with Mastodon.Social? Does it change the fact that the MS moderation is poor?
A pat on the back hardly is enough to make you a cheerleader. Especially given that when Gargron wanted to host his personal gallery he didn't opt for PixelFed so that pat on the back didn't really mean too much other than lip service.
Anyone with any semblance of impartiality will say that Gargron has done some good things and there's lots he could and should do better, especially in regards to safeguarding his users and supporting the wider Fediverse.
But I'm still at a loss as to how this relates to the incredibly dodgy PixelFed plug.

dan is just saying he appreciates mastodon.social and points to his own experience as to why he appreciates it
it's just a nice statement
there's no need to go knives out on such a post 😂
god damn

@dansup @benroyce @pixelfed @Gargron no Dan, neither me nor Ben seemed to have picked that up.

@dansup @pixelfed @Gargron what is the problem with mastodon.social...? #outOfTheLoop

Cheers to this!
Although it’s not the point of a social web, having a default/general instance to join significantly lowers the barrier for non-techies to join the social web at all.
Y’all who complain might consider some empathy for good people who don’t happen to also be a dang Linux admin.
Smoothing the onboarding process is worth doing. But m.s is a great initial solution.

mastodon social censors or diminishes anti-genocide voices
some have had their profile reduced in visibility
I personally have had posts taken down
some say it is because it is based in Germany and we know Germany has a weird stance on genocide today
