Comment on Bluesky sees record signups day after Musk says X will go paid-only

But tbh i have never tried Mastadon. Normally if a company is good it has great marketing as well as great direction. For instance, federation can never work because it’s like operating a franchise. It’s just a non profit version of McDonalds which all but ensures instance owners will lose their shirt if something bad happens on their instance and they are sued. Corporate structure is the only way. Just don’t build a shitty company. Also, why isn’t mastodon homie asking for peoples contacts, that’s how any app grows. You can do what FaceBook and Instagram do but just dont be a shit.

What is why it is not being “downloaded”? It seems you don’t actually understand how it works. You realize we are talking on a federated network right now, yeah? You must be trolling.

It’s on the android store I’m looking at the reviews right now.

Since you appear to be talking about a Mastodon mobile app and not the Mastodon network a fair bit of negative reviews are about many of the mobile apps blocking access to Gab. Gab switched to a Mastodon back end back in 2019 or so and several of the apps started to blacklist using that instance at the app level as a consequence. Usually negative reviews about that will refer to “the largest Mastodon instance”, which Gab actually was by sheer numbers.
There was even an issue request to hardcode blacklisting Gab into the backend, though they were basically told no in no uncertain terms.

Oh boy, I’m looking through the code for Mastodon right now. Already located one zero day after reading 300 lines of code. Who wrote this app…

Point it out and share it with everyone. That’s what FOSS is all about. I bet you won’t.

Of course they won’t. They’re shilling their own product which is a competitor to Mastodon.

What i don’t get about mastodon is that if the owner wants to pull the plug he can take away the app any time. What kind of tomfoolery is this. He can also legally sue instances he doesn’t like. how can you say mastodon is decentralized.

Im on a computer not a phone. People like apps not browsers.
