> why do you give a shit? Given your tone, I'm going to guess you're not asking the GP a question in earnest. You should try to think about why they might "give a shit". Twitter's userbase is its primary feature. Not its shitty UI, not its awful character limit, and none of the stuff mastodon's various UIs are copying. Its userbase . If you want the fediverse to succeed, you need to understand that. And you need to s…

I don't want the fediverse to "succeed", frankly its the only space for us LGBTQ+ to not be harassed, reply guyed, and screen-capped online that isn't a corporate hellhole. Edit: "Success" in our current world seems to be defined as the transition Reddit has gone through, where the userbase has exploded, its eaten Facebook's lunch to a fair degree, but the quality of discourse and interaction has dropped like a rock.…

The person I'm replying to clearly does.

Nethertheless, if the usefulness of something depends on it failing, something's wrong.

Avoid the fediverse please, the point is to have a more humane environment, not follow #thoughtfluencers. If you do join choose your instance wisely, beware that many instances block mastodon.social, freespeechextremist.com and similar for being hot messes that have no moderation. The latter instance in particular has a very persistent hellthread spambot problem, where bots sling nudes without content warnings at peo…

Or just host your own instance where you yourself decide what you want to see or not see, and what you want to write or not to write.

OP describes how they like having content from the famous spoon fed to them. They won't get that experience in most of the fediverse, and the dev teams of the various software (Mastodon, Pleroma, Rustodon, etc) aren't optimizing for it.

Better for them to stick to a platform that can feed the famous and techbro gruel to them by the shovelful.

The person your replying to explicitly states that you should follow random people off main (the federated timeline) and have a sense of wanderlust rather than following a handful of #thoughtfluencers.

What I find strange how this is presented as an either-or option between banning and not banning. You can also have an intermediate warning page. YouTube does this to any third-party website for example. Something like "Warning: JSFiddle has been abused by spammers to run crypto mining scripts. We recommend that you that you do not continue to this JSFiddle page unless you trust the source of the link" should work ju…

[Edit: whoops, misread the issue. Sorry!]

Thanks for clarifying that you misread, but please keep the text or at least enough contextual information so we know what the replies to you are talking about. Which link did you edit out? Because I missed it.

The problem is: I have yet to find a person in the fediverse that interests me. I like to read tweets from accomplished people. Successful startup founders for example. Is there anybody out there? Any links to people of significance in the fediverse?

Drew Dewalt. Richard Stevens (Diesel Sweeties) and wait ... why do you give a shit? Why do people have to be famous to be relevant? Follow random people. Remember 90s AOL chatrooms?

Because the whole point is that I get insights from people I admire, man. I want to listen to John Carmack, not some random fool. _I'm_ some random fool and if I wanted those opinions I can cook them up myself.

Please see earlier reply: stop being so accusatory of people who don't use the internet (or live their life) the same way you do.

Mock them all you want, in private. Don't bully people because they take selfies, buy tourist gadgets, or follow people you're too good for.

JSFiddle is big. They tried. They voiced concerns. They asked foe help. They got a ban with no explanation. Please just join the fediverse. It's broken too, but if you get banned, at least you can open an alt on another server. Force Twitter to be irrelevant.

The problem is: I have yet to find a person in the fediverse that interests me. I like to read tweets from accomplished people. Successful startup founders for example. Is there anybody out there? Any links to people of significance in the fediverse?

Maybe the real problem is people of "significance" have no simple way of duplicating their posts there? Many seem to desire the biggest audience possible.

Your really projecting here, but you do you!

Twitter is crazy. Recently I tried to change my gmail account to a more secure encryted email on my Twitter account but they never let me confirm that email to my account. It always remained pending even though I clicked confirmation links several times. When I went ahead and reverted the email to original gmail account, everything was done seamlessly within seconds. I've had many similar problems with Twitter for years. The Spam Accounts, getting locked for apparently following 'too many' people in a short period of time, clicking confirmation links multiple times, etc and now this.
