@can I'm in mastodon, so it might be an issue with the lemmy/mastodon connection. What client are you using?

@jordanlund Didn't even realize you replied from lemmy. Good lord, these centralized apps don't stand a chance.

This thread would've been a Twitter screenshot posted on Reddit I never would've seen. Now I can reply and follow you based on engagement from a different "platform". So cool.

@jordanlund I think that's why the fediverse is going to win. The self sabotaging habits of these centralized platforms for their bottom line only makes the fediverse more compelling.

Every misstep in a centralized app is a growth opportunity for the fediverse.
Whereas every misstep for a particular community in the fediverse just strengthens the decentralization of the fediverse.

People will always get dissatisfied with admins and move; at least the fediverse is designed with that in mind.

 

1 year ago #twitter and #reddit were my top social media sites. Now I don't even contemplate returning to either. The #fediverse has completely scratched those itches. Between @elk and @syncforlemmy, nothing is different from a UI perspective. Community is healthier in the fediverse. So thank you to everyone here who builds out infrastructure, tooling, and community for the fediverse. I appreciate it.
