    This looks more like another instagram clone rather than Facebook. Building a following of strangers rather than a network of people you actually know.

    I’ve yet to see a proper alternative (fediverse or not) to the way Facebook originally helped to keep connected to friends and family. To plan events. To keep your posts only visible to your friends. That’s the part that is hard to give up.

    (Yes, I know friendica is supposed to be the fediverse answer to that. But it’s really not accomplished that yet. It’s just a skin over mastodon.)

      is this like some strange form of trolling? where you’re trying to be a super hated account?

      or do you genuinely not know that you annoy people. or do you know it annoys people and you’re a reverse troll? cause I can’t believe that you haven’t discovered how fruitless it is to put that symbol in your comments.

      it doesn’t hurt any scrapers in the slightest. it only annoys real people. there’s no way you haven’t figured it out by now, right?

      I’m trying to understand if this is just some kind of social experiment or not. cause if it is, the results are quite plain.
