i have noticed that a lot of people on cohost do not like mastodon for some reason
if i had to guess, a lot of it was "being extremely burned by having been on Snouts and everything that happened to Snouts"
given the sorta "technoskeptic furry" joke made often about Cohost's big userbase
tbh i still don't really know what happened with snouts lol
I never used mastodon so all my knowledge is secondhand, but it left a lot of people very bitter.
Some really shitty instance kinda bullied it offline by doing a brigade, iirc, and i know it included some amount of infiltration for further harassmentc.
ahh, yeah it kinda happened "over there" to me cause i'm on meow.social
pretty much this. if my entire presence on a site can get nuked because someone i don't know decided they don't like someone else i don't know then i kinda don't really want to be on that site lol
i mean if i liked mastodon i'd be over there instead
i really don't like how federation works, and it's not really a better alternative than twitter just because it can be self hosted. the whole design and structure for communication fails for me
