Kotking

Yeah, like many things were mitigated if you used reddit only on mobile with good app, I even don’t remember when I sit behind PC to browse reddit. I do know about crypto vault on official reddit app, that later learned only on crypto subbredits only you can earn crypto.I showed some cat pics from subreddit on official app and scrolling from vid to vid…And there were weird jumps from cat doing funny things only to other subreddit. So ads redirect from one sub to other when watching full screen

@Meowmoth I would say feature bloat. If you need social network message service and want fast loads and less mobile traffic/device resources usage then Mastodon is a king with very tried and true nature. Firefish is fork of Misskey so I can tell a bit as Misskey user. If you want everything in one social service then Misskey/Firefish is the one. Build-in rss reader, memos, gallery, pages, channel for chat like experience, plugins, minigames, likes=emoji that convey message, so… Feature bloat.

The only real reddit drama that I personally was invested was r/animemes with Trap ban, so it’s easy to ignore chat, follows, cryptocurency, Reddit becoming close sourced, Avatars (I set up one and change it 1 time when free was given and like ehh it’s gamer thingy lookalike will use it).
I got my GPDR or how it called request, but didn’t login till day 20 and you have 7 days to download and 30 to request link… well I requested link 3 times and still error.

@noodlejetski @qooqie https://erinkissane.com/mastodon-is-easy-and-fun-except-when-it-isnt I read article and can say I understand many problems listed there. If you join Biggest instance then sure you won’t encounter some of the listed problems, but federation isn’t about joining biggest. Not intuitive UI also big factor, why greeting message don’t tell Use #Hello #Привет or other language for first message? People don’t understand/know about search being specific to # add to that bombardment with tips… Fediverse is bad for newcomer.
