  • Yep, the centralizing of announcements is a bigger issue than link aggregation.

    I work in pest control and want to follow several industry experts and guess what? They only use twitter to disseminate information because they’re mostly academic and don’t follow too much online drama.

    I want to continue following them, but need to create a Twitter account to do so since Musk’s new ideas broke the website recently and you can no longer lurk without an account.

    So I am torn between trying to follow experts and improve myself as a professional, or cut myself off from that source of information in order to try and reduce the amount of traffic that twitter gets.







  • I really dont get this “Lemmy/Mastodon is sooooo haaaaard to sign up for”. I’m a barely technoliterate 30 something who’s closest thing to coding knowledge is the Missingno cheat in Pokemon Blue, and I figured it out. Its not that hard.

    Like, the instances/server thing is the only real extra step you have in signing up, but besides that, its like signing up for any other website.
