In the replies to that twitter post libreoffice made so many people were crashing out lmao their either saying “are you on bluesky or x and y platform ” and libreoffice says “yes we are” others saying that libreoffices voice will be lowered because they are not . . . Screaming into the void that is twitter , one calls mastodon fascist another calls it communist many are complaining about the instance that libreoffice is on ( even though they can choose another one ) the echo chamber web of twitter is COOKED .
Let’s gooooo!!! Also hoping we can get gif support on Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc. Would he a tiny yet massive way to make the platforms more interactive. Each community can enable or disable gifs as an option and allow users to disable gif’s completely. That would be a good way to have it
Honestly floored at how many open-source projects don’t even HAVE a Mastodon presence. Like, I get it, you need a social media presence where your users are (and at least a presence on the big, billionaire-owned platforms to at LEAST have a hedge against copycats/scammers), but at least HAVE one there. And have a Lemmy community! Yoof.
Same best approach would be to just have a presence on legacy social media and the open source people social media
Amazing to see Mastodon instead of Bluesky there ! Too many people falling for the Bluesky trap…
Yeah, I’m surprised how many go to Bluesky. It’s just Twitter all over again, controlled by a single company.
What is the social media name of clown Zuck? I feel old
Threads.
Also instagram should be shown there too as its owned by facebook.
…and also Whatscrap
Thank you!
It wasn’t the “controlled by a single company” part that made me leave Twitter, honestly. It was the Nazi CEO…
that’s the best part, just as twitter was sold to a nazi bluesky can be sold to a nazi too!
that’s what can happen when it is controlled by a single company
Tbh I am on Bluesky more than Mastodon. Bluesky just feels easier to use. Normal users don’t care about federation. They want the app to work easily for them. Mastodon requires a bit to get a good feed etc. Bluesky you can be lazy. Wish Mastodon had like a default “what’s hot” or “Discover” feed. Really helps find people to follow as well.
Ease of use is one of the failings of the federation that needs to be addressed or it will never have a larger pool of users.
The last couple mastodon updates made it easier to access the trending feed (which afaik has existed since 2021) and added features like quote posts. Bluesky starter packs and custom shareable feeds are definitely its major perks.
The odds though bluesky will get bought up by right wing billionaires in the next 10 years is almost 100% unless there’s a major change in media management laws so don’t get too attached to bluesky since there is like a nonzero chance trump jr buys it with his crypto bribes.

You mean like Mastodon’s “Trending” and “Discover” feeds?
I don’t think that ease of use is the problem. The problem is, people want an exact copy. Most people don’t like changes, they just hope that the alternative is the same, just without the issues they leaving it. Same expectations for GIMP and Linux operating systems… (for the normie at least).
“Trending” gets you somewhat the way there to a “what’s hot.” Though I wish it’d update more often.
But, in reality, that just means I get off of my phone sooner because I’ve seen the same stuff so that’s fine.
I don’t understand why any brand is on it. I ran a big brand account on tech product and there almost zero conversion rates coming from Twitter despite thousands of likes and views.
Twitter is mostly bots and grifters and only product you can grow there has to be for bots and grifters.
Libreoffice is great !
Yeah they’re open-source minded, this totally aligns with their ideals. Good for them.
My dad is a 60 year old warehouse manager and ex highschool-principal.
I recently found that he prefers using libreoffice at work for spreadsheets.
Yayy infact most OSSs should switch
Just a logical consequence, other will follow.
For those considering, always remember that you don’t have to „move“, but can simply use the platforms in parallel. It’s a good compromise if leaving the more active network feels too heavy.
Yes but also leave the Nazi bar. Use Bluesky as your “active network” if you need one.
Thank you
Hell yeah I’ll follow them on masto
what mastodon server do you recommend ?
I mean it doesn’t really matter that much, I am currently on kind.social, because I like the name.
I would suggest you use fedi.garden to find your own server.
You could just make your own pod at fedihost if you dont know which pod to pick. Then you can make your own emojis and rules.
Libreoffice doesnt work for me. Too much annoyance.
