I’m not going to make a big paragraph to explain myself but here are the positive points:

  • No advertising
  • Diversified applications
  • Very good freedom of expression
  • Fedivers
  • Verification (using a website)

Now negative points:

  1. I was sold instances that served as a mirror with X which would have facilitated integration into Mastodon for users like me. Only 2% of the accounts I follow on X are on Mastodon (Mozilla, Proton).

  2. There are not really « fun » accounts like https://x.com/humansnocontext that post funny video clips, I find Mastodon a little too serious, I see a lot of political accounts and sometimes the lives of normal people like mine. It’s a shame 😕. I mean, I chose Lemmy because it’s so much more diverse!

  3. You cannot change your username. It’s a shame about that...

Well, that was my opinion on Mastodon.

If you have recommendations, favorites of Mastodon accounts, share them with me.

and if you really don’t like your handle, you can make a new account and migrate your follows to it automatically

A little hardcore method in my opinion. This is especially if the instance is dying.

Migration on Mastodon is really not good enough to use it for switching accounts. Unless you just never post and only follow people
