@Em0nM4stodon i am actually migrating from Instagram to the fediverse but still learning how it is working and meeting new people .
I hope to make the final switch this year

[em0nm4stodon@infosec.exchange]

@christellelachambre Awesome! Welcome!!

[christellelachambre@mastodon.art]

@Em0nM4stodon thank you very much

@Em0nM4stodon plus constantly suffering the mental ware off, I have been trying to keep presence in #X to try to enter the bubble of "main stream" users and attract them to the decentralized side, but it is extremely exhausting, constant mental pain and fatigue of so much bullshit

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange "But all of my friends are still on Xitter/Facebook!"

Then do you really want to be associated with those friends?

[mattjhayes@techhub.social]

@david_chisnall @Em0nM4stodon Agreed, the Network Effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect) is a strong force and difficult to disrupt. I left FB and twitter when it became clear their values were not aligned with mine, but I still have no other people in the #Fediverse that I know IRL. Persuading them to move is a hard problem…

@catsalad ditto. I closed all my other social accounts and requested deletion of my data long ago. Nowadays I even block all their domains so I don't accidentally give them any traffic.

My life is better for it, and I haven't missed them for even a moment.

@Em0nM4stodon Good point.

@catsalad same here! @Em0nM4stodon

@zotheca @mousey thank you for saying this! The screenshots and lack of alt text were driving me crazy (I don’t follow his account but I would see the posts on Explore pretty much every day). I ended up blocking him.

Another « offense » if you wanna call it that is the fact the account (probably run by an intern) NEVER interacts with anyone, ouf

Come for the cats, doggos, birbs, and donkeys, stay for the auroras, art, science, and dad jokes.

Never thought of that, but you’re absolutely right
