Hello fellow Europeans!

I have already swapped like 95% of all of my american applications to European alternstives (all besides YouTube). However, I have a question…: What the heck is happening on Mastodon?

a) there are a few people there (even in comparison to Lemmy it is just microscopic

b) seems like Mastodon has never seen Any moderation: even though I followed politics-related people/organisations, Mastodon was, almost, bombarding me with unmarked and VERY unwanted NSFW content. Why?

So the question is: how to deal with Mastodon? Is it only me? It would be very nice to get back there and make theiving conversations and threads like here on Lemmy.

Vive l’Europe, Vesi

    @Gigameister Well, it started with Mastodon, then you mention to be moving to Lemmy and Bluesky, followed by nuking Meta.
    Well, I 'm really sorry if understanding that “followed by” didn’t mean that leaving Mastodon was next on the list.
    Quite a few have a look around here, and are gone again within a week. Obviously thinking Mastodon isn’t good enough as they don’t get the instant gratification of engagement. Well, thatyou have to build yourself by finding people you think post interesting >2

      It’s perfectly understandable, and it wouldn’t be the internet if someone didn’t throw some vitriol my way!

      I’m not mad, annoyed or pissed, i’m just happy that i can find engagement, positive or not in my very first post!

      I’m very hopefull and confident that i’m doing the right thing, even if i’m having reddit withdrawls symptons already!

      But i’ll get trough them!
