I’m frankly mystified by anyone who thinks Mastodon is “too technical.”
Please explain. Because the steps as far as I know are:
Those arent the steps. There is a 6th one because you have to go find content. Whats served up by default is random and not very good compared with the algorithmic feeds of other platforms.
If you want algorithmic slip then why not just be on corporate owned platforms? The only people that want to feed you slop are those trying to harm you. The fediverse isn’t going to do that, they don’t have a motive for it.
Isn't that one of purpose of mastodon? Not having addictive algorithms?
What Bluesky did right was allow you to easily get started with starter packs and block lists. You can have a good feed set up in a few hours versus likely years on Mastodon. And then you can choose if you want algorithms or no algorithms and if you choose that you want one, you can choose which one. Mastodon needs to copy those things and it will be the final destination.
Because the steps for Xitter were :
Even one extra step that adds friction can lead to you just not doing the thing.
Mega-corpos spend billions to reduce the number of steps to your wallet, because they make it back tenfold.
