Mastodon is a great platform. I have an account there, and I have been using it as a twitter replacement for several months. I have been using nostr for around two months. I have also read fairly deeply into how Mastodon and Nostr work. I think nostr is better. Here’s why....
in summer 2023, when I moved here from reddit, the lemmy instance beehaw.org was extremely divisive. they wanted to create a website according to certain rules rather than a free for all. some people were saying it would be the end of the threadiverse before it even began....
No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.
Very true, and that’s why I’m more and more inclined to use an instance without downvotes. With the report button available, downvotes just seem like a shortcut for hivemind.
Are you a trans person? Are you feeling the sore lack of a general trans community on lemmy.blahaj.zone? Do you miss going on r/Trans all the time and want a lemmy alternative? Well look no further, because now there is one!...

These days I searched and try to understand more about Mastodon alternatives, and see Pleroma and Misskey (and his forks) are more lightweight than Mastodon, and saw some people says Mastodon has some security vulnerabilities....
I would suggest to find an instance in your mother language, it’s the easiest way to find content in that language. When I want to see Spanish content, I go to masto.es. Some other languages use other platforms (usually Misskey forks)
To be fair, it doesn’t take that much to create an account on one instance and then see if it works for you. I must have more than ten alts on several platforms
In the current spectrum, how much should one spend to get the best value? I know everyone has a different taste and budget. But analysing the current trend of smartphone culture could give a bit of insight into spending wisely.
I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

I love Mastodon and ActivityPub. But I think Nostr is going to win. Here's why.
