Bridgy Fed made a splash earlier this week by announcing its latest progress in connecting the Fediverse to Bluesky and Nostr. Sadly, not everyone was welcoming.

    basically just a bunch of the loud minority on mastodon ruining it for everyone else like always

      Mastodon really does seem to rally around braindead takes and misinformation. The culture over there can be hard to stomach sometimes.

        I like the little niche I fit into on mastodon, but the Explore tab is as grumpy as Twitter ever was.

        It’s a lot like Twitter in that once you follow some good people and get your feed curated you shouldn’t look at anything else.

          You’re absolutely right and I definitely shouldn’t be making broad statements like that. Another thing I’ve found is that if you can stomach the effort (or do this from the get go), it’s a good idea to put all your academic or professional accounts into a single list. It’s nice to check into a slightly smarter feed from time to time.

            I’ve not tried out Mastodon yet, but am interested, and find this comment intriguing. Am I to understand that you can create custom feeds with a subset of the accounts you follow? Sounds like a good feature.

              Yes but if you want to do just want anything more advanced than putting users in a list you’re out of luck.
