I think the average person understands how to use email.

Mastodon is just too confusing for the average person

You’re mistaking motivation for ability. If you understand email, you can understand Mastodon.

There were Nazis on X for years before this. They’re leaving because Trump won.

Because you hate Palestine?

They think that the problem is Musk, because he’s the proximate cause. You can’t expect people who are uneducated about this stuff to make a systemic analysis, research decentralized alternatives, and then decide to go to Mastodon or whatever.

If they were that educated on the issue, they would’ve left X a long time ago.

We don’t know how many of those are bots.

You are allowed to say sweary words on the Internet.

They said they have everything.

Sadly, I think this is a much older, non-AI person who thinks that they’re funny.

My favorite part of this:

…Collins said that “part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars” adding that “those people were right” this “is the funniest thing that has ever happened”.

What about those freaky-looking bald cats

I thought you could federate with Bluesky, too.

Choice is a good thing, though.

I’ll use Bluesky before I use Threads. I don’t want to get sucked further into the Zuckerborg.

Not for long, if RFK Jr has his way.

Harris dropped the ball.

Same experience. Having a dungeon you can explore makes the game so much better.

It isn’t hard to win when you’re the only one running.

If there had been a primary, it’s possible that Sanders would’ve gotten nominated. The DNC can’t risk that.
