alt Hacker NewsOh I see plenty of people complaining but only a few are willing to try another platform like nostr or mastodon or whatever else.

Mastodon might be better for corporate censorship, but I remember hearing that federated platforms can have problems with censorship from instances blocking each other.
I tried Nostr but there wasn't a great algorithim. All the interesting things are on twitter. I don't really see a huge point in having an account on twitter, though—it feels like all comments go into the void.
I just use xcancel.
I have been a mastodon user for ages. Its a great platform.
But I haven't been able to recruit for it. And the app I used died and was removed from the play store. I use it to read interesting conversations between european hackers.
It certainly hasnt paid dividends to run my own masto server. I will be retiring it and moving my account somewhere else. I dont post anything there, because nobody I know is there, and so why care about owning my own data?
Metcalfe was right etc etc.
