Estoy volviendo a revisar Mastodon y me he fijado en que el problema que me hizo dejar de usarla tras unas semanas fue la dificultad que tenía a la hora de encontrar nuevas cuentas. Me gustaría saber cómo soléis encontrar nuevas cuentas nuevas o cómo puedo lograr obtener recomendaciones en mi feed. Gracias :a2love:

Imagine logging into your social media account, and instead of ads flooding your feed, you'd see the actual posts of the actual people you follow in chronological order

People want to communicate over the internet as easily as they do in real life, with similar protections but, potentially, farther reach.

Like many others, I had a fun time on mastodon.social this weekend. Many great people from Twitter showed up, as well as other generally cool and famous-ish people.

I quit Twitter to join a kinder, nicer, decentralized open source version of Twitter.

If you’ve been kicking around on the Net for the past year or so, you’ve probably come across a thinkpiece or two about Mastodon, an open source social network that’s kind of like Twitter, kind of…

The fediverse is a decentralized group of social media platforms in which each independent platform can interact freely with any other platform that is part of the group.

Lots of people have been asking myself and Mike for a statement on the recent drama surrounding Fosstodon. This is **MY** statement.

The right-wing billionaire’s platform has recently lost about 10 percent of its European user base.

Acabamos de limitar el acceso de NeoPaquita a fosstodon.org, y dentro de 48h procederemos a la suspensión del acceso por completo. Es una instancia grande, pero las razones son que los admin y fundadores de la instancia han justificado que uno de sus moderadores vertiera opiniones anti LGTBIQ, anti inmigración, y en general pro MAGA en reddit, comentarios en otras redes, etc. Pero no lo consideran justificación suficiente para expulsarlo del equipo de moderación, lo que es una señal muy clara de que fosstodon no es un espacio seguro para les que habitamos NeoPaquita. -------- English: NeoPaquita will temporarily limit access to Fosstodon.org and in 48h suspend federation because of the admin's support stance to a moderator who exhibited anti queer, anti human rights opinions in other networks. #FediBlock

I am currently winding down the Mastodon bots I used to post sunrise and sunset times. The precipitating event is that the admin of the instance hosting the associated accounts demanded they be made nigh-undiscoverable, but the underlying cause is that it’s become increasing clear that Mastodon isn’t, and won’t ever be, a good platform for “asynchronous ephemeral notifications of any kind”. I’d also argue (more controversially) that it’s simply not good infrastructure for social networking of any kind. There are lots of interesting people using Mastodon, and I’m sure it will live on as a good-enough space for certain niche groups. But there is no question that it will never offer the fun of early Twitter, let alone the vibrancy of Twitter during its growth phase. I’ve long since dropped Mastodon from my home screen, and have switched to BlueSky for text-centric social media.
