@Mastodon @TechCrunch One of Mastodon’s greatest strengths is being the largest social network based in Europe. For a territory like ours, it would be essential to integrate a built-in translation option. Thanks for your work

@Mastodon @TechCrunch Mastodon has bad vibes. The amount of topics I’ve had to filter, the number of people I’ve had to block. The misery that is the trending posts. Just awful.

@Mastodon @TechCrunch
Silly me for enjoying #toots on the fediverse.
X=X nothing less. I could care less that the (?) cool people like Stephen Miller hang out there.
Thanks techhub social for your service!!!

@TechCrunch this article is missing a very important point: there is no user-tracking at @Mastodon. That's very important (for multiple reasons), but that's why social-media agencies ignore #Mastodon!

@Mastodon @TechCrunch this article is weird. It feels like they updated an old 2022 article and just updated some references to 2025. It doesn't feel completely right in its presentation.

@OliviaVespera yes, we think @TechCrunch did a refresh of an older piece - we're still grateful for their help in spreading awareness.

@Mastodon And I always warmly recommend the kind and helpful @FediTips with the best #Mastodon guide ever at https://fedi.tips - I wish so much that Mastodon could link to it prominently at the entry page for #newcomers!
