🏒 Lucian Marin Mastodon is dead. Most people have migrated to Bluesky or Threads.

🤮 What Really "Bluesky or Threads" ew

HaoLi I deleted my mastodon account a while ago. it's trash.

HaoLi I don't like the people that run it. I don't like their policies on what people can and can't say. I don't like that groups of users can gang up on individuals and really fuck up their experience without any repercussions.

🐵 David subreply is dead. Almost nobody comes here. ;-)

🏒 Lucian Marin Subreply is fun with a few smart people hanging around.

🏒 Lucian Marin I should have open source it sooner. Let's see what did I miss.

🤷 Tom Hyndman I see that it's NOT a JS app, just some ajax calls from within the Jinja templates. Seems like a good sign, in comparison to the over-architected stuff I usually have to deal with

🔘 Nat Voisey Mastodon is great for communities that have a niche. Have you tried Ivory by Tapbots?

👽 Paul Webb THE only reason I'm such a heavy Mastodon user. Third-party apps are a must for any network.

🔘 Nat Voisey Shh, don't tell ! It's a challenge to imagine a world where Subreply is popular enough to develop an API and have third party apps, but you can still dream.

👽 Paul Webb HARD disagree. Mastodon is fantastic for me. Bluesky is quiet af and Threads is just wanna be viral content. I guess it just boils down to who you follow. To me, small web folks, hackers, and those who spend time making lil' projects for internet lovers spend most of their time on Mastodon.

🔘 Nat Voisey Bluesky is loud here in NZ. Agree on Threads (algo) and Mastodon; I like the smaller communities.

🏒 Lucian Marin Nostr is full of hackers. Everyone I follow on Mastodon double posts to Bluesky or Threads.

🔘 Nat Voisey Is it bad to crosspost to Mastodon and Bluesky? I find they are different groups of people who have their own perspectives.

👽 Paul Webb I tested Nostr briefly but none of the third-party apps have the polish I want so I fell off. I follow one guy that actually posts to Bluesky via a Mastodon bridge.

🏒 Lucian Marin Well, you can try nostter.app and freefrom.space clients.

👽 Paul Webb Freeform looks nice, I've bookmarked both for if/when crypto stops feeling yuck to me.
