Hey there! Figured I’d share here since my main instance, Lemmy.ml, seems to be really broken right now. I published an article today focusing on some of the myths and misconceptions Mastodon users have spread over the last few years, with some critical analysis and debunking.

Let me know if you like it!

    A staggering amount of honesty that will likely make a bunch of idealistic blowhards really mad. Good job.

        Totally. There are times I’ve read what some people have to say about how much better it is and wondered if they’ve even used it all that much or bothered to learn about its weaknesses.

        I agree. I feel so dismissed when people talk about how much nicer people on the fediverse are. As the article alludes to, it’s such a white person thing to say. In my experience, the fediverse is absolutely full of privileged liberals who think they’re leftists, but are actually bigots.
