Is that federated? If no, why not promote Mastodon or Kbin's microblog, or something else within the Fediverse?

Totally fair comment, but some people like an app and a similar experience to what they’re used to and their is nothing wrong with that.

I disagree. Low-effort users that are just wanting to get a dopamine hit are not helping build something new and valuable.

That’s why you need to point them towards things like bluesky. Send them to what they want.

Haha, fair enough. You were also specifically replying to someone asking about Twitter vs Mastodon, so providing an alternative that isn't owned by a total shitheel is still better.

I apologize profusely for being snarky on the Internet.
