Threads have been gaining traction recently and I’m actually enjoying the atmosphere there. However it’s clearly on a growth phase where they don’t show any ads or paid content. This obviously won’t last, so I’m wondering if there’s a platform which I could recommend?
I tried Mastodon a couple of years ago but it felt a bit too technical even for me, so I’m a bit hesitant to explore that. Thanks for any input and my apologies if this has been asked too many times already.
Have you tried Mastodons official app? It got a lot better over the years.
It’s not bad actually, thanks for the tip!
The answer is definitely Mastodon. We just need to make it work for you, OP.
I wonder if this helps?
you’re on the fediverse, saying another place on the fediverse is too technical… also mabye bluesky if this is not a troll post.
Bluesky is privately owned, so I don’t see how it solves anything. And I don’t want to limit my feeds to include only technically skilled people, does that make any sense?
nope :3 i use mastodon and don’t have a feed limited to tech stuff.
I’m frankly mystified by anyone who thinks Mastodon is “too technical.”
Please explain. Because the steps as far as I know are:
- Want a mastodon account
- Search for “join mastodon”
- Pick a server
- Create an account
- Enjoy mastodon
Because the steps for Xitter were :
- Want a Xitter
- Go to Xitter
- Create an account
- Enjoy(?) Xitter
Even one extra step that adds friction can lead to you just not doing the thing.
Mega-corpos spend billions to reduce the number of steps to your wallet, because they make it back tenfold.
