@BeAware “Also, people were complaining about Meta's lack of moderation but from my experience, every time I see hate or vitriol from someone, even if its not moderated, it's severely called out and shat on by the wider community.”

Yes, exactly!!! There doesn’t seem to be any tolerance whatsoever for that kind of nonsense. And I agree; there’s a much more broad scope of discussions there.

Maybe I should re-open my account…

@BeAware I wish there was more diversity here. I know people will chime in and argue that there is, but… subjectivity, there isn’t.

I love being able to come here and read about current events and such, but sometimes, it would be nice to have a casual conversation as well. About anything. Just… boring stuff.

@BeAware Same. I think I’m okay with it, though. Keeping myself occupied with this record seems to help.

@Sean @BeAware That’s what makes the fediverse in general so appealing to me—the total independence. Using these small features to tailor my feed to what I want is why I continue being here.

@BeAware 😂 and what’s even more strange is how customizable the entire experience is, but they still complain.

Mastodon is incredible, minus a few whining turds.

@BeAware There’s just this level of arrogance involved in the idea that someone’s feed should immediately be appealing to them, without them having to do anything to make it that way.

I’ve had to mute a lot of topics. I’ve had to mute and or block people that made my feed terrible.

And also, telling people how to post is, in itself, arrogant. As if they’re the arbiter of the fediverse.

If I see one more #Mastodon HOA member complain about how *their* feed is burdened by lack of CW from *other* posters, I’m going to snap.

**YOUR FEED IS NOT OUR OBLIGATION.**

You have filters, muting, and blocking. Utilize them. Take responsibility for your own feed, and stop telling others what to do with theirs.

Can we start a #AdoptAnAmerican program? I’m looking to be re-homed. I don’t want to live in America anymore.

@hans This is pretty sad to read, for a lot of reasons.

I had such high hopes for Diaspora. It was going to be the “Facebook killer” over a decade ago, and now I’m seeing a decline in pods.

Ohhh, new #Loops beta update is awesome!!!

@BeAware @Hiker @hamiller_friendica @evan @feb Usually, once the “money men” show up, regardless of how well-intentioned they are, everything goes south.

@BeAware Same. I just didn’t see him doing that. I thought he was different.

Oh come on, Dave Grohl. 🤦🏻♂️

@BeAware !!! I didn’t see it 😂🤦🏻♂️

@BeAware I know who you’re talking about. Lord, some people… 😡

@BeAware How is that “tone policing”? It’s a blatant misuse of aggregation for the sake of attention, and has nothing to do with “tone.”

@BeAware THANK YOU. It’s so annoying when something totally off-topic shows up in my feed because of hashtag spamming.

@BeAware @mybarkingdogs @bob @adhdeanasl That’s a brilliant idea; I don’t know why I haven’t been doing that.

I believe the @IceCubesApp will do this for you as well, which was one of the reasons I enjoyed using it.
