Mastodon

Right? It was significantly easier than usual for me, because there's no giant wall of legalese to read.

i also love the "oh noes there are nerds on there!" concern trolling, motherfucker read the wikipedia page on who first adopted and built the communities on twitter and reddit

I had to get used to it, but then again, I never really used Twitter. I'm not a big fan of Mastodon (the format) but I really do like kbin. I was a reddit user, and this is much more familiar. Nice that it's all really just the same thing just presented in different ways and of course, no single entity controls the whole thing. 😊👍

It's quite obvious they don't want people to join networks without gatekeepers.

Same thing when people complain about how difficult it is to sign up for a Lemmy instance. You click sign up and fill out the form, if that's difficult for you I'm sorry you've never used your brain before. It's like Neo waking up from the Matrix.
