It is time to invite more of your friends to join us. Invite to your current server or you can invite them to Vivaldi Social! Help them get going. They will thank you!

@jon I agree with you. Mastodon and the Fediverse is social media as it should be. The focus is on content that is relevant to the individual user. No advertising, no tracking and no paternalism through algorithms. :tony_wee:

@jon Mastodon implies connection to many servers, and this is a global feed, but the global feed is a dump that nobody reads, because of this the essence of the social network is lost. Bluesky is much better thought out in this regard

The multiple servers is the beauty of Mastodon and the Fediverse and so is the fact that it is based on a truly open standard.

The Fediverse is like the Web in many ways. In fact it is the Web as it is based on Web standards by the W3C.

You will find good and bad stuff in the Fediverse, but at least the content you see is not because some algorithm is made to keep you interested, even if it makes you hate other people. What you see is who you follow. That is a big difference and a good reason why the Fediverse is a better place than the alternatives.

@jon I don't think there's anything wrong with algorithmic recommendations, I've found many of my favorite things through them. The problem is mainstream ones are built for advertisers, not users
