@shoq @andypiper humanity wants one thing from social media. something non-technical. easy to find friends and interests without having to know a single thing about the platform. bunches of them want advertising (someone is paying for all those ads). they want dull. hence the media constantly quote twitter, but never facebook. it's dull there, but simple. mastodon is not simple. "see on the original profile" is a distinctly toxic message for users, even me. the fact that i see server profiles at all is perplexing. it is simply not user-friendly or intuitive. it is clearly designed by technical people for technical people. as a result it is not going to attract people in their masses. there's no "quote tweet", one of the biggest use cases. and what the hell is this below? i'm here and using the platform as much as twitter, but for very, very narrow conversations, mainly with technical people. unless you fix this, people will not come. </rant>
