Mastodon isn't even the best micro-blogging service on the Fediverse.
A summary of the standard mastodon front page:
I like it in a flea market kinda sense but, I mean, come on, man.
I'm not really following what's the issue here? Sounds like a wide variety of content that is the perfect medium to find people to follow so you can get a more filtered and curated feed, which mastodon comfortably supports.
I don't know any social media that boasts a decent news feed that you put 0 information into.
Which would you say is best?
Now there's an argument to be had. I ave tried Mastodon and Firefish and found the latter to be far superior, feature-wise. I think Iceshrimp will be the *key fork that will finally the big breakout hit, especially with the Iceshrimp.net rewrite.
Lost me at .NET. Hard pass.
Why?
micro$hit
Misskey and the actual Forkeys are in TypeScript and Vue.js. And they all have the same bugs that you can't just simply get rid of.
Iceshrimp.NET is a rewrite of Iceshrimp in C#, that's why it's named Iceshrimp.NET. It promises to get rid of all issues inherited from Misskey because it doesn't have a bit of Misskey left in it anymore.
But maybe we need more rewrites in more languages to satisfy as many people as possible. A Catodon rewrite in Ruby on Rails for Mastodon fanbois and fangurlz, no matter what a chonker it'll end up being. Sharkey rewritten in PHP to satisfy those who like things as easy and lightweight as Friendica & Co. And even more because not few say that both C# and Ruby on Rails and PHP suck.
Or is there anything that doesn't suck at all? Go sucks because Google. Rust sucks because Mozilla. Python sucks because it's Python being Python. And so forth.
Rust has almost nothing to do with Mozilla these days though.
No, but it used to. And that's enough for some people.
I bet you that there are people who steer clear of anything related to BASIC not because it's a kiddy language, but because it was invented by Bill Gates.
