@dzm@EvilCartyen All good points. They point to the challenges when separate digital spaces can talk to each other technically, but perhaps not culturally. It would feel like homework to me if I had to think about how headline/body would translate from Mastodon to Feddit, or my ratio of Danish:English toots. I also don’t understand a culture where when someone says ‘I visited a nice food market!’, others feel the need to publicly boo them with an anonymous downvote. To me, that’s an odd norm.
@dzm@EvilCartyen I’m just making these observations from my own point of view, I hasten to add! I understand it’s a different space with a different culture, I’m not trying to complain or suggest changes as an outsider.
@CiaraNi@dzm@EvilCartyen it seems that you are comfortable with Mastodon approach :)
For me it’s too ephemeral, as posts, replies, and boosts take pretty much same appearance and just wash away things that i might want to revisit later. The forum format really speaks to me.
Yet this niche that I’ve carved here on Masto feels very nice, letting me observe fun and nice people. Feddit (Aarhus community) is emptier for now.
Maybe all we need here is not to make people remember details of different software systems (software should be boring and easy), but a bot that would let us translate things like Ciara’s nice postcards into suitable posts on feddit.
