If you could enjoy #Twitter, #Mastodon should not be worse, but for someone who grew up with #BBS, #Fidonet and #Usenet, the #Fediverse is just a big heap of only few confusingly noisy timelines. Features around #hashtags would need to get improved so that it gets easier to have clean places⁽¹⁾ for a topic while not by default being visible in those other big timelines and getting lots of fly-by comments⁽²⁾.
Or let this just be the place for the ones liking the current status quo. Thanks to this status quo many users start or restart using Usenet now!
THAT'S GREAT!

@yeti@johnhamelink I am not saying Mastodon shouldn't improve, but I don't think basically saying decentralization sucks (or something. I forgot the lengthy post after people started picking on me and can't reread his arguments because he blocked me after I said I feel like features are okay) and basically discrediting the point of Mastodon and then acting like they are superior for their opinion is not okay
I am not opposing change, I just want to understand why things need change.
You can see this if you just read the thread
I asked about search functionality in the original toot. I didn't understand the problem with it. And I got a shallow answer of "well average Facebook user won't find it useable, and you know that very well"
I said no, I don't know that because I didn't use Facebook or whatever. I find stuff okay
"Well you are the problem then bye" blocked
Then proceed to favourite a toot about smth smth he is on an emacs instance lol of course he is like that
And by the way, many social media platforms did not improve most of their important functionality in the last decade even though some of them suck even as a concept.
