I'm trying to convince the last friends I have left on Facebook, X, Threads, or BlueSky to join the Fediverse. Some have tried but felt a sense of loneliness. Nowadays, many people are so used to doing what algorithms suggest that they can no longer make independent choices.
My timeline here, on the other hand, is beautiful.
I see what I want, I follow people who post what I like, and no one tells me what I should do. Freedom may come with a "cost," but whatever it is, it's worth the effort. Always.

@me I have gotten a LOT of pushback from friends on BlueSky about using Mastodon. They call it an unfriendly, judgey place with a lot of unwritten rules that crossing any makes you a pariah.

@me I tried a few Mastodon hosts before I got to my current one. My first one had every bad thing people say about Mastodon -- I was informed of the rules I was breaking frequently. So I left, eventually ended up here. Lots of people have a bad experience and just leave forever.
