that «Mastodon is fascist social media» is really *chef kiss*
@oblomov @eniko @libreoffice I really wonder what the reasoning is. But not enough to ever go back to that site and ask

@libreoffice@fosstodon.org Fediverse needs orgs like LibreOffice to help make it what it should be.
It wont be easy for orgs to make it work given user numbers but LibreOffice being active on fedi does make it a step closer.
Please have a look at Piefed, its a great fediverse platform similar to reddit and something LibreOffice could make use of. -

@libreoffice Why does it seem like more and more people are leaving X or at least minimizing their activities there?
-
@libreoffice Not bad, that's only two years or so of implicitly supporting a fascist. Better late than never.
Triple bonus points for removing the X link from your website though. Well done!
@alan @libreoffice some good advice I once heard was "never criticize someone for doing the thing you want them to do"

Why reducing only, @libreoffice ?
Be brave and leave toxic big-data-platforms! -

I don't think that people are lying?
You could argue that they "just" need to put in a bit more effort, but maybe it's best to find ways to further improve the user experience?
There's some really low hanging fruit, like https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/37690.
@stefan @ghouston @oblomov @libreoffice yeah, I'm all in favour of usability improvements. Nothing complex is ever finished and certainly not perfect. I just don't see how anyone who can function unaided in the general world can't use mastodon, especially someone who has used Twitter / X. Really the only 'issues' I can imagine are initial uncertainty about choosing an instance, and the fact that 'feed' will be very quiet unless / until you proactively populate it.

@stefan I hope and tend to assume unless shown otherwise that outright lying may is rare, but I do strongly suspect that some people who parrot the 'unusable' line have put zero (or close to) effect in to really trying it.

1. Welcome. Great software. Hope you get what you're after here.
2. You are displaying such savvy use of social media that it would be best if you were Donald Trump's social media advisor.
(The linked twitter post has been deleted. And the anti-savvy of posting a link on Mastodon to your Nazi-bar twitter post is awesome. In a bad way. Less cool than posting a dick pic in your intro.)Edit: Following as I love libreoffice. And I love seeing trainwrecks in which no one is harmed.

@libreoffice thanks & good to see you here, as your system was my first introduction to the Linux sphere about 20 years ago!

@SciPolTech I don't really have much more to add here, just that this attitude of disbelief is not very helpful, and contributes to people's view of the fediverse as gatekeepy and condescending.
Better to listen to people, trust them, and think creatively about how to address their problems.

"put zero (or close to) effect in to really trying it"
In other words: "You're just doing it wrong."
We need more empathy. We all have different needs and priorities in life. Being better at computers and having the time to invest into learning new things don't make anyone superior in any way.

@libreoffice It's interesting how people over there are claiming no one is here, Mastodon is too hard to use, blah blah blah—meanwhile, this post here is getting significantly more engagement than that post over there.
Anyway, thank you for doing the right thing.

@skua The X/Twitter post hasn't been removed at all.
