I dislike Mastodon for the same reason I dislike Twitter. It seems to me like it’s more centered around individual people and what they share rather than building multiple communities around multiple things that interests me.

Sure, I can craft my own community, but then I have a feed where I only encounter posts from the same people, and chances are, opinions that I already agree with. It’s not as easy to switch from a tv show to programming, for example. Yes, hashtags exist but they don’t even come close to communities on Lemmy.

The worst part are the types of posts that only reiterate how stupid “the other side” is without seriously trying to understand their arguments. This is not only true about politics but many other topics as well.
