Oddbean new post about | logout
 Here's my most recent Mastodon experience / observations:

- No idea which server I should be joining
- No idea who the recommended users are.. why should I follow them? I’m looking for familiar brands / sources of information
- Hard to scan recommended users. I don’t care to see their banner and number of followers, I just want to see a profile picture, name, and bio.
- No easy way to follow people without clicking to their bio every time
- Main client “what’s on your mind” box is kind of annoying
- Not many interesting users, hard to find any interesting content
- I like that they show trending hashtags, easy to get into the conversation
- Like https://joinmastodon.org/ and how you can join right from there, no lengthy explanations
-  UI is fast
-  No bitcoin content, refreshing in the short term, but I might miss it in the long term.
