So, unfortunately when I go to Mastodon these days it's a bit of a ghost town. And I say unfortunately with sincerity - there are some things I really liked about the ethos behind it. However, the reason I'm posting this here is that I couldn't put it there without getting instant shit. 🧵

        I think he is saying that of the total interactions he gets he would expect a large amount of hostility to his opinion on Mastodon, and it is also a small population which is available to interact with on platform. Consistent, just talking about the experience and an objective measure. In my opinion Mastodon will be helped by Bluesky adding a paid membership. The worse it is the better for Mastodon, and honestly if people have already started moving out from Twitter to Bluesky they are not locked in yet so moving out again is easier, they already dropped Twitter but Bluesky is not solidified yet.

          I’ve gotten an extremely similar comment on a couple posts I’ve made here on lemmy, in a video community no less.

          Personally I just said something’s like “welp, sorry that’s not your preferred format.” and then just move on.

          With how infrequent posts like that are, they don’t effect me at all, but It’d probably suck more if I was consistently getting negative comments like that,

        “Ghost town” = Not driven to oversharing by algorithms.

        “getting shit” = nobody wanting to listen to a youtuber’s outrage bait.

        It must be confusing to log into the fediverse straight off of Youtube, though. “Why aren’t people compulsively clicking and subscribing to everything? How am I not being recommended radicalising posts by conspiracy theorists and terror organisations within five clicks?”

        “Honey, this is Mastodon”

        “Ah, much better!”

                The problem is the lack of auto-hiding of comments like this. Normally, on a Reddit thread, this would be buried and shunted to a “click here to read the stupid ass bullshit that one idiot wrote and got downvoted into literal Hell” link.

                Please, give me that in Lemmy, instead of having to always look at the abysmal score at every comment.

                Oh, do educate me on my life choices based on an unrelated online comment, internet stranger 🙄

                FWIW, I’m living my best life, rejecting influencers and enjoying a low- to no-drama fediverse. Anybody feeling bad for a Youtuber failing to peddle their bullshit to Mastodon can kindly get in the sea.

                Have a nice day

          I geniunely can’t understand what you’re trying to say

          Perhaps the other reply was right–this comment is what he’s talking about
