| > The problem I've heard others bring up is that you pick a server, then later the moderation policies of the admins changes. Moderation policies change even with the big ones (Twitter, etc). I suspect you're referring to the confusion due to different servers having different moderation policies, and that could effectively make you invisible to others or vice versa merely by being on a given server. First, my guess is that this is a problem with a tiny percentage of servers. I've not had to deal with this even once. Second, when you say you "heard others bring it up", my guess is these others are highly technical folks. Not a single "average" person stayed away from Mastodon due to this. I suspect perhaps 99% of active Mastodon users are not even aware of this. These are valid criticisms of Mastodon. But they're not the reason people didn't sign up for it. Name recognition is. > You can either deal with it or start over again on another server. Losing all your followers is why people put up with bad social media overlords. FYI, for quite a while now you can switch servers, and have the followers automatically follow your new account. |
