Evolution of human behaviour is slow. Right now we are all enmeshed in the dawning discovery that the current way we run society is falling apart at the seams. Just enter the core of almost any city in North America and you'll see what I mean (and not just N. America). It'll take a while to set itself right, or it may all just burn in a raging nuclear fire launched by a pissed off oligarch who does not get his way.

Definitely not forward progress towards a better day.

Is mastodon the app that has it? Iโ€™m still pretty new to knowing wtf it even is

[โ€“] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mastodon is a FLOSS X/Twitter

[โ€“] Contemporarium@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ok so are there any specific apps for the fediverse?

[โ€“] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mastodon, moshidon, jerboa

Part of it is just the network effect. If the people they want to follow are on twitter then they do not really have a choice. Also part of it is the algorithms. For some needing to manually select communities or individuals is an inconvenience. Finally I feel like fedi communities have a very distinct atmosphere simply because very few people use it. This can all change in the future but the majority of the issues stem from just not having enough creators and users as well as the additional effort required to use these platforms.

Sounds like a question for them.

Lazy. Most people don't want to learn how shit works. They just want it to work. They'll get what they pay for in the end.

edit: downvote all you want. it's a correct assertion to the question. just because you don't like it doesn't make it not correct.

When did you begin using the fediverse? I didn't stop being lazy until I joined diaspora in 2011.

[โ€“] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When Spez went full cunt. To be fair, I was an IRC nerd to start off though.

[โ€“] christian@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe it's possible that there are many people who are not on the fediverse today for reasons similar to why you weren't two years ago. Not that much has changed since then (other than, possibly, your own understanding).
