I didn't mean that you personally shouldn't advertise starter packs.</p><p>It was merely a sarcastic comment reflecting how little I trust BS to successfully avoid ending down the same path as Xitter.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> I, for one, am happy you’re everywhere. Thank you. There are so many people I want to follow that are still only on X.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> agreed. I love mastodon and the the idea of it. But sometimes I think people don't understand how difficult the culture is around here. </p><p>I noticed some people mentioning how starter packs are nice at Bluesky and why they don't exist here at Mastodon. And people just get up in their feelings and it's always like "that's not how we do things here." No further discussion.</p><p>It just seems so antagonistic. </p><p>But love the technology and the idea of it. So I will continue to use both.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> Agreed! I still remember the endless debates about things like quote toots and stuff. Sigh.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://shumai.xyz/@mookie" class="u-url mention">@<span>mookie</span></a></span> yeah, it's definitely a problem with zealot attitudes on Mastodon, "reply guys" giving their anti-opinion on everything that isn't Mastodon for social networking, it gets tiring to read</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> People can be so judgmental on here.</p>
<p>Seriously. Every single time lmao, Mastodon is like clockwork, people will jump into messages about how they hate whatever it is I mention I'm on elsewhere, how it's terrible and so on.</p><p>Look: I genuinely don't care. I have always been on multiple social networks. I'm giving you options, not telling you to use anything, and this Mastodon account is clearly not going anywhere.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> a few days ago the first great update was published. it is a major improvement and a great game now :)<br />Everyone should play it</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> I strongly recommend filing a bug report, as that's not normally an issue and should be looked into as if you're having issues others might be too.</p><p>I just tried it on my mastodon.social test account and didn't see an issue (I already make extensive use of them on this account, the instance for which runs stock Mastodon 4.2)</p><p>You're probably going to be flamed to high heaven for recommending the corporately owned Bluesky to Mastodon users. I... must admit to being sympathetic with that view but will avoid flaming you over it ;-)</p><p>What I will say though is that I feel like nobody learns any lessons any more. We've seen what happens with social networks owned by the millionaire/billionaire tech cabal.</p><p>Bluesky is that, run by people appointed originally by an admirer of Elon Musk's approach to social media and funded in part by crypto money. It uses an unproven protocol to prove its decentralized bona fides (and I'm glad it's making the effort) but that protocol has at least one choke point, the Relays, which can only ever be corporately owned, and there's no incentive to run relays. (By comparison you can run a complete Mastodon instance on a $50 Raspberry Pi hooked up to a $50 1Tb USB external SSD, all in your closet gatewayed via a $1/mo VPS and $10/year domain name, and that'll serve an entire family's social networking needs. I'm not recommending anyone do that, but the fact it's possible means this will always be our network, not Musk's, not Zuckerberg's, not cryptobros, our's.)</p><p>We need to focus on making the activitypub based fediverse more accessible and implement those features that are still missing.</p><p>I'm really against encouraging those here to leave until Bluesky proves its federation model is viable. Twitter (RIP), Reddit, even Wordpress, Medium, Multiply have all proven that handing your private life over to a corporate third party is a very, very, bad idea.</p>
