Hello fellow Europeans!

I have already swapped like 95% of all of my american applications to European alternstives (all besides YouTube). However, I have a question…: What the heck is happening on Mastodon?

a) there are a few people there (even in comparison to Lemmy it is just microscopic

b) seems like Mastodon has never seen Any moderation: even though I followed politics-related people/organisations, Mastodon was, almost, bombarding me with unmarked and VERY unwanted NSFW content. Why?

So the question is: how to deal with Mastodon? Is it only me? It would be very nice to get back there and make theiving conversations and threads like here on Lemmy.

Vive l’Europe, Vesi

Curious myself.

I've done reddit and Twitter, going for lemmy and bluesky.

Currently working on removing all my META connections so i can nuke that account to, and mastodon and pixelfy will surely follow.

For messaging i'm probably going for signal, being a long time user i'm probably just going to take a stand on whatsapp, if people want to message me, either move to signal or use SMS.

@Gigameister @vesi You're planning to leave Mastodon?
Well, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[–] Gigameister@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I think you got us wrong... We're planning on joining and trying to understand it.

But hey, free vitriol!

@Gigameister "and mastodon and pixelfy will surely follow" after exit Meta as you just arrived here simply states that this is not the space you're planning to stay.
Was that not what you wanted to say?

If you plan on Making Mastodon a permanent (everything is relative) place to stay, then welcome!

The context, in this case, is quite important.

It feels like you locked in on that sentence and didn't read the thred.

That's the same thing as walking into a conversation and taking it entirely out of context before dropping a nuke on the subject.

I re-read my comment, and considering the whole context, i cannot see how someone would think i was saying i was leaving, particularly with the sentence that comes before.

This is the internet though.

I hope you have a great day.

@Gigameister Well, it started with Mastodon, then you mention to be moving to Lemmy and Bluesky, followed by nuking Meta.
Well, I 'm really sorry if understanding that "followed by" didn't mean that leaving Mastodon was next on the list.
Quite a few have a look around here, and are gone again within a week. Obviously thinking Mastodon isn't good enough as they don't get the instant gratification of engagement. Well, thatyou have to build yourself by finding people you think post interesting >2

It's perfectly understandable, and it wouldn't be the internet if someone didn't throw some vitriol my way!

I'm not mad, annoyed or pissed, i'm just happy that i can find engagement, positive or not in my very first post!

I'm very hopefull and confident that i'm doing the right thing, even if i'm having reddit withdrawls symptons already!

But i'll get trough them!
