Yes, Hitler was an innocent man, he just had some weird ideas. Poor guy. Victim of circumstance, really. /s

I installed the flatpak version and it worked without any tinkering, even Windows games. I’ve tried the “official” install method (a few years ago now) and ran into problems. I go for flatpak nowadays for simplicity. Lets me have a rock-solid OS and up-to-date apps.

it’s basically twitter.

I will say, the cool thing about it is the interoperability between ActivityPub platforms. For example, from my mastodon account, since I’m subscribed to some hashtags I’m interested in, I occasionally see posts from Lemmy/Piefed (reddit-like), Pixelfed (Instagram-like), Loops (Tiktok-like), etc. I can comment and like without having to create accounts on the other platforms. It’s definitely more aligned with what the open web should look like, although could use some UX and discoverability improvements, as I’m not entirely sure how some stuff works, but it’s been interesting to try it out.

For anyone who cares, Bluesky is not meaningfully decentralized and can be easily censored.

Mastodon cannot be censored in the same way, thus no long-term enshittification. If you’re going to switch away from Twitter, give Mastodon a try. It uses the same tech/protocol as Lemmy, Piefed, Loops, Pixelfed, m/kbin, etc.
