Re:Reddit’s blackout protest is set to continue indefinitely by leokennis on Thursday June 15, 2023 @04:16PM (#36345886)
So well said. After the Twitter apocalypse I joined Mastodon, but the instance I joined (mastodon.world) was missing a lot of people that did advertise they were on Mastodon… So I clicked some links from those people and managed to follow them. But I cannot just search for people or topics now? I first need a link to another instance? What is this, a second job?

Truth Social is the most successful Mastodon instance by far despite being garbage because it has a clear, consistent design and user interface, and has exclusive content from an extremely popular influencer. Any Mastodon or Lemmy instance that wants to truly replace Reddit needs that, Gmail doesn’t present itself as a federated messaging platform and make you jump through 30 hoops to join while having arbitrary management that bans at random
