Mastodon tried and it's had some moderate success, but because it's completely devoid of algorithms, users have a harder time discovering people/accounts/mindless entertainment. That's the only reason I can think of as to why Bluesky took off so much faster.

I'm sure that's a factor, but I can think of another reason. Decision paralysis when picking instances and frontends has been cited quite often as a substantial hurdle.

I don't support Ukraine

[bassomitron@lemmy.world]

Sure, I can definitely see that as an issue for Lemmy especially. I haven't used Mastodon in awhile (microblog format doesn't really appeal to me outside of when I'm looking for sales), but I had thought that the main mobile app defaulted to the biggest instance there. Is that not the case?

[x00z@lemmy.world]

Yeah Lemmy too.

[tehn00bi@lemmy.world]

I’m sure Russia will happily send you to the front comrade.

[underpantsweevil@lemmy.world]

This is where it all ends. "Everything I don't like is Russia/China/Iran".

Nothing evaluated on its merits. Nobody with a view different from mine is real. Evil Foreigners is the explanation for every bad take and un-pc post. Americans are only ever loyal patriots, villainous traitors, or useful idiots.

I too love genocidal regimes and war crimes. Can't get enough of that mass slaughter of civilians and kidnapping of children.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

You seem to think countries can be forced to invade other countries. That is not how anything works.

Lemmy? The place made because "Fuck the white supremacist Reddit admins, want me to set up a self hosted one for /r/communism?"

That place?

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

That's basically what the ml and hexbear instances seem to be. Or at least there's a lot of them there.

Putin may be crazy, but he's not suicidal.

[banana_havoc@lemm.ee]

Swinging hard and missing with the 'uhh but x country is worse'. Okay dude.

[duamerthrax@lemmy.world]

Nukes aren't self stable. The brains that it takes to maintain the stock left or died long ago.

[humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee]

Used to dream of that when I was a kid. Glory to the motherland and all. But now - Russia is like a little us clone.

[humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee]

Kidnapping? Palestinians dream someone kidnap their kids like that - got them away from warzone with food and shelter.

[humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee]

U banned me in another sub already. Because apparently you are from Israel. Are u adminning this sub too?

[nthavoc@lemmy.today]

I remember there was a time on the internet where "Don't feed the trolls" and "True story, read it on the internet" was a thing. Would be nice if they were a thing again. Even in this thread, obvious trolls are being engaged and motivated to spew their filth.

[t00l_shed@lemmy.world]

Hey when you're done with that strawman can I borrow it? I gotta scare some birds

[banana_havoc@lemm.ee]

This is how smaller communities die. They get infested with state actors and the paradigm shifts on some of the stupidest, dipshit topics.
