I’m not going to make a big paragraph to explain myself but here are the positive points:

  • No advertising
  • Diversified applications
  • Very good freedom of expression
  • Fedivers
  • Verification (using a website)

Now negative points:

  1. I was sold instances that served as a mirror with X which would have facilitated integration into Mastodon for users like me. Only 2% of the accounts I follow on X are on Mastodon (Mozilla, Proton).

  2. There are not really « fun » accounts like https://x.com/humansnocontext that post funny video clips, I find Mastodon a little too serious, I see a lot of political accounts and sometimes the lives of normal people like mine. It’s a shame 😕. I mean, I chose Lemmy because it’s so much more diverse!

  3. You cannot change your username. It’s a shame about that…

Well, that was my opinion on Mastodon.

If you have recommendations, favorites of Mastodon accounts, share them with me.

    I feel like there’s not as much content in shitposting subreddits. I also really miss videos. But I’m really glad I changed to Lemmy as much of a shithole Reddit has become.

    I have not had Twitter before so it’s quite an unusual format for me. I though since it’s part of the fediverse, might as well check it out. Following a couple accounts and have a shitpost account myself. And… Videos!
