Fedora is my recommendation of choice. The default Fedora + Gnome workflow out of the box is absolutely flawless.

Finally, Mastodon will be using be usable for me.

It’s open source.

I would love Mastodon with Lemmy/Reddit-ish sorting. Purely chronological feed means I get low quality content at the top of my feed simply because someone posted something 2s with a hashtag I follow.

It is a lot faster and cleaner. Just my opinion, it’s an improvement over the laggy mess of a website they have right now with bloated JavaScript.

Anyways, have a good one.

I recommend Logseq as an Obsidian alternative. It’s amazing.

I actually really like the redesign. It looks very modern to me, and the website feels a great deal more responsive.

Bluesky does it the best. It supports community made custom algorithms, so I use a Discover feed to find people I like.

Its not as good as it sounds. There should be some kind of sorting. I follow #food but I get low-quality content of any random user taking a picture of their refrigerator at the top of my feed just because they posted 1s ago.

The article says 80 percent of the users left. If you had more context, you would have got what I said.

And 80 percent of over 100 million users is still 20-30m active users.

What’s the alternative?

I hope so. I find some excellent content here but I still need to sift through tons of Lemmy circlejerk to find it.

Lemmy just needs to stop talking about itself so much. The only reason I still use Reddit is because I find fresher and more varied content there. Lemmy users need to provide more content than just the fact that they are on Lemmy.

Couldn’t agree more.

I would use it if it wasn’t so slow. I get that it’s slow because of the security, but that’s precisely the reason it can never be my primary browser.

If they embrace ActivityPub and then start adding their own proprietary features that are enough for users to switch over, and Mastodon doesn’t, then it’s not an “evil agenda”, it’s Meta adding an essential feature that the users want and Mastodon isn’t able to add and ultimately Meta making a better product.

If Mastodon or Lemmy are truly superior and the future, then the product should be the best in the market, not DUE to federation but DESPITE it.

That’s one thing that everyone here forgets because right now federation is hard to get into, and the only people here are those who put the effort in because they believe in federation. That is the reason for their tolerance in an inferior product. But if that’s the case, then it will never be mainstream as long as the product is inferior.

The entire point of ActivityPub is that it’s open and EEE-proof. If the users leave it for something proprietary but better, then it isn’t EEE, it’s just a better product.

Simply being open source is not an achievement in itself. The platform has to be user friendly, stable and future-proof. Most FOSS and federated alternatives create a platform and then endlessly harp on federation like that’s the end. No, that’s the beginning. The point is to make a product better than Big Tech WHILE maintaining federation and Foss status. THAT is what makes a platform EEE proof.
