I often read that Mastodon is too complicated for “normal” people. I’m curious: How tech savvy do you consider yourself to be?

I’d especially love to hear from #1 people.

My list of upcoming Mastodon improvements: 2ality.com/2024/11/mastodon-we

:mastodon: Boosts appreciated, to get as varied a sample as possible!

UPDATE: So much great feedback. Thanks everyone!

2ality.comMastodon’s weaknesses and how to fix themAs a web developer, I love Mastodon: Since Twitter became X, there are enough web dev people here. I’m happy with the web app – it even has several nice touches where it is better than Twitter. I’m not locked into an ecosystem that is controlled by a single company. That being said, Mastodon still has several major weaknesses. In this blog post, I collect those and explain what’s being done to fix them. It is not meant to be exhaustive: If there is a weakness that affects you and isn’t mentioned here, then please let us know in the comments.

@rauschma, you most likely already know my opinion about Mastodon. I'm not happy with the risk of losing my posts, identity, and connection because it depends on one server that I don't control. I'm not happy with the fragmentation of social networks, and Mastodon (as a non-decentralized platform) contributes more. I don't think that such platforms have a future. But do I have a choice? Not really, so I had to use multiple fragmented platforms (Mastodon, BlueSky, LinkedIn, GitHub, Nostr, etc.). For me, it's a real pain and that is the reason why I'm working on a solution.

@functionalscript The biggest challenge with social networks: There are not only technical problems but also people problems. And those are really difficult—e.g., as a woman you can have a really bad time on social networks. AFAICT that’s why many women don’t use headshots as avatars.

One thing that I’d find very useful is built-in support for ActivityPub in Bluesky.

@rauschma agree. The first priority of the technology that I'm working on is TRUST. In contrast to a lot of other Web3. It's not just blocking bullies, spammers, bots. It's based on trusted connections. nolock.social
