  Look like good changes to me. There was nothing wrong with Mastodon, but sometimes you really had to have been a Mastodon user already to know how it works.

    The tooltip explanation for the handles should help, since that’s a very common point of confusion.

  especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to X or Threads.

  People use Facebook Threads? That sounds like saying “especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to Reddit or New Digg.”

    People were autoregistered for threads if they already had an account for instagram or facebook iirc. It also auto reposts stuff between those services unless you turn it off i think.

    X and threads are Microblog pages, seems plausible to me to use them as a comparison. It’s the platforms we want to migrate people from to mastodon.

      I agree, rather I was surprised that threads grew big enough for people to be trying to migrate away from it.

      In my area / friend circles, I don’t know anyone that continued to use Threads after the initial launch. However, there are people using Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter

  “Its social network”? Ewwww…

    I don’t think it’s too much for the company that makes mastodon to claim mastodon is “it’s decentralised social network”. The way I read it they don’t claim ownership, they claim to be the author.

      Mastodon didn’t invent ActivityPub or the Fediverse by a long shot. So calling it their social network makes me throw up a little in my mouth…
