@Em0nM4stodon i am actually migrating from Instagram to the fediverse but still learning how it is working and meeting new people 😊.
I hope to make the final switch this year 🤞

[em0nm4stodon@infosec.exchange]

@christellelachambre Awesome! Welcome!!

[christellelachambre@mastodon.art]

@Em0nM4stodon thank you very much 🙏😊

@Em0nM4stodon plus constantly suffering the mental ware off, I have been trying to keep presence in #X to try to enter the bubble of "main stream" users and attract them to the decentralized side, but it is extremely exhausting, constant mental pain and fatigue of so much bullshit 😭

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange "But all of my friends are still on Xitter/Facebook!"

Then do you really want to be associated with those friends?

[mattjhayes@techhub.social]

@david_chisnall @Em0nM4stodon Agreed, the Network Effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect) is a strong force and difficult to disrupt. I left FB and twitter when it became clear their values were not aligned with mine, but I still have no other people in the #Fediverse that I know IRL. Persuading them to move is a hard problem…

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@catsalad ditto. I closed all my other social accounts and requested deletion of my data long ago. Nowadays I even block all their domains so I don't accidentally give them any traffic.

My life is better for it, and I haven't missed them for even a moment.

@Em0nM4stodon Good point.

@catsalad same here! 🙌💖@Em0nM4stodon

@zotheca @mousey thank you for saying this! The screenshots and lack of alt text were driving me crazy (I don’t follow his account but I would see the posts on Explore pretty much every day). I ended up blocking him.

Another « offense » if you wanna call it that is the fact the account (probably run by an intern) NEVER interacts with anyone, ouf 😤

Come for the cats, doggos, birbs, and donkeys, stay for the auroras, art, science, and dad jokes.
