There is a lot more to Mastodon than “New Twitter”, it’s actually the first appearance of a whole new internet.

    He’s right, 100%. None of my friends give a crap. They want the literal lowest effort, at all costs. They don’t care about defederation or a billionaire narcissist in charge.

      My 2 cents is that the reason no one switches is nothing is innovative anymore but we are fairly addicted so its not like we’re going to demand innovation. If there’s was some cool new “swipe right” or “get notified when friends are online” type thing then people would check it out. But all the cool stuff has been innovated already and now switching to a new thing isn’t enticing because its the same stuff we all have just moved around differently. Nobody cares about the backend stuff

        Think you’re right about the lack of innovation being a big part of it. They’re still out there, waiting for someone to think of them.

        Cyberspace is BIG. The options are wide open. For example, being part of one community project with no borders making something with long-lasting value, for example. (Cities!) Moving on to another you’re even better fitted-to. That you know you can look back at one day and be glad you were part of.

      It’s sad that most of us have been trained this way. a disgusting mix of negligence and indifference.
