A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
Agreed. I was never a twitter user so mastadon never made sense to me.
This just worked for me instantly.
That said I was just thinking about making a community for new users with like - tips and tricks. Or does that exist?
edit: nevermind found lemmytips, seems to have all the info I was thinking about adding.
Nice. It is comforting that the people running the platform are conscientious and have made a guide so the transition is as smooth as possible.
For me the decentralized nature of Lemmy / Kbin, (the only two reddit clones i know right now), is what’s really bringing me in.
I’ve been on Reddit for over a decade and seen communities completely close and go private because either a lack of moderation or infestation of bots. With how Lemmy and Kbin are set up, if one group of people don’t agree with another, they can set up shop on a different server.
This really gives users power over communities instead of having to do different naming such as r/animemes vs r/goodanimemes.
The problem with mastodon is the same problem as twitter. Its just not a good social experience. I have said this before. Twitter/Mastodon are for individuals with a high follower count to get their message out. Its not for the other 99.99% that want to engage each other and discuss topics o interest.
I tried a Mastodon instance and couldn’t get into it. Maybe it’s my ADHD talking but I prefer the slower pace of a forum. It lets me take my time and really think about how I want to phrase things.
@DidacticDumbass so, do we need a fediverse for LinkedIn?
Maybe! A professional networking to connect people with similar principles would do a lot to improve the working world.
I remember going to my university's career center, hoping to get guidance on what kind of jobs to look for after graduating.
All the guy did was show me how to follow people on LinkedIn who graduated in the same field. None of them have advice, none of them know anything. All they can offer are tips on how to look "more professional," they have no idea how to help ohers craft a career.
We can't let corporations control our lives, and as much as we try to escape it through technology and our buying choices, there is no easy way to escape it with our jobs.
Yes, I think it is necessary.
