@r000t I am pretty sure there is a large group of people who first decided they did not like the idea of the fediverse and Twitter would have to be pried from their dead hands, but then they have to figure out why they hate it.
@jerry I've learned a ton more in my time here having genuine interactions with info sec professionals in long format than I ever did on Twitter, if that helps
@jerry I guess that happens if you look at the server timeline rather than following people who post relevant stuff? This reads to me like they want an algorithm to pick out their timeline for them.
@jerry my timeline is all like, ransomware notifications, @foone reversing games, and FORTRAN exploits.
I also joined when infosec.exchange was maybe 10k accounts which probably gave me a leg up on quality follows, but this complaint gives me "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"
@jerry Obviously they've forgotten what it was like when they first joined birdsite. My feed is immensely informative, but I had to cultivate it, follow the right people. JUST like I did over there.
@jerry the initial experience can feel a bit like this if you mostly follow people who deal with mastodon. Better initial follow recommendations may do the trick honestly
@jerry Well that person has a point. These are the same people who go from one social network to another doing the same things and pretending that things are different. Mastodon has a lot of good things and it doesn't matter if it's better than X or not, it doesn't need to be, it's just different.
