I miss being on the same platform as all these creators. I hope they come to the fediverse someday cause I ain't leaving.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 years ago

I'm begging the creators I know to at least do double duty on the Fediverse (Mastodon, Misskey, etc.) besides Twitter even if they can't leave it now.

[–] stevedidWHAT 30 points 2 years ago

They will, we just need to keep makin cool stuff and calling it out. Word of mouth goes a looooong way

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They will, but only once Threads adds ActivityPub 😑

Several artists are on mastodon already:

If they're smaller creators or fan friendly, maybe someone could reach out to them to help get them set up? More audience for them is good, and if they think they'll get value out of being here they'll create accounts.

And all the comments are about how hard fedi and mastadon are :(

I haven't tried mastadon but I can't imagine it's harder than lemmy. Plus they already would have more established apps.

[–] Korne127 86 points 2 years ago (8 children)

The problem I have with Mastodon is you need people to get people. And if the people I personally know and follow just aren't there, I don't… have fun there. Lemmy is much easier because it doesn't depend on personal people, but just communities. So even if there are few people, that's still easy to get more people there because it doesn't rely on many specific ones.

[–] mookulator 36 points 2 years ago

Totally. Microblogging (twitter alternatives) have a much harder task because they depend on the right users. Especially famous/influential people. Post aggregators (Reddit alternatives) don’t have that constraint.

[–] SapienSRC 22 points 2 years ago

Agreed. It took me a few tries to get into Mastodon. What helped me was discovering that I could follow hashtags of topics that interest me. That opened the door to interesting people to follow.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

or just be a weirdo and reply to Lemmy comments from your Mastodon account like me. Then you don't need people on Mastodon since they're already on Lemmy.

Yeah I’ve been trying to fill out my Mastodon by doing tons of research and guides on who to follow, which kinda sucks anyways, but my feed is still empty except for a handful of accounts. Wired is active, so I’m basically just looking at a link aggregate of Wired articles. Might as well just go to wired.com

I swear, many people are completely digitally illiterate despite being on the internet every day. Even choosing a server is already too hard for them.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (5 children)

It's actually a major, and documented, problem. Despite everyone born after 1995 being considered a digital native, more and more people don't have any technical aptitude and are wholly reliant on digital support

yeah it's a shame that most people can't read and learn new things

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

If they admit its not that complicated then they have no excuse for not switching and have to accept that they’re perfectly happy suckling on the poisoned teat of these platforms and don’t actually want to leave

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's all I see people complain about.

If we can do that here, surely it can't be that hard to just pick a server on there and follow people, right?

I don't expect everyone to be a coding wizard, I'm certainly not, but how are so many people still so tech illiterate in this modern day that what essentially boils down to picking an email host is considered difficult??

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

when was the last time you met someone with an email account that wasn't gmail?

... for most people that is their only email too.

My issue is there’s just not enough content yet. I mostly only used Twitter to engage with wrestling fans (for better or worse), but on Mastodon there seems to be less than 10 wrestling fans total.

I got excited for a minute. I thought PizzaCake joined Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago

I think we'd be reading a different comic if that were true.

[–] Idreamofcheesy 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't care if she joins or not, but I really want the people that edit her comics to be funny to come to Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Where are the Ben Garrison cum edits?? That's what I need here.

no, its not better. i cant believe how many idiots are falling for this

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Less featureful, terrible violation of privacy, no way to easily delete just threads, gives a known bad actor a strong foothold...

What could go wrong?

and then if you suggest they try mastodon they won't even consider it

Don't think so but maybe someday.

Would be nice wouldn't it. Alas I don't think so

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago

I'm on mastodon I'm good thanks.

[–] melonpunk 29 points 2 years ago

Why not neither of them?

Now she’s buying upvotes on Lemmy too!!

[–] captainlezbian 11 points 2 years ago (19 children)

Ok but can we not depict a Jewish person as a lizard person. Lizard people are an antisemitic conspiracy

[–] Falmarri 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Go clutch your pearls on threads.

I never made that connection. I thought it was just because he's an emotionless alien?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

While I'm with you on that, I am definitely getting more of a "sneaky snake" vibe from this comic, personally.

[–] captainlezbian 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fair, maybe I’m just being a bit over cautious here as I’ve noticed a huge rise in antisemitism over the past year or so and would rather err on the side of not risking coming off as such

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

I definitely don't blame you for that. Dogwhistles come with that little bit of plausible deniability so it's impossible to draw a hard line on this type of thing.

It's clear that he is portrayed as a snake (did you read his text bubble?)

Jewish or not, he absolutely is a snake. I don't think anyone but you made the connection: Zuckeberg -> Jewish -> lizard.
