Not much “hate” here. I like the concept and I like the design (Especially now you can choose to have just one column in the middle) of Mastodon and the fact that it has managed to build up a significant user base. What I dislike are minor issues, like no really good default search for various things (Hashtags, words, URLs). And the RAM usage and the not so easy maintenance is uncool. However, there is … Pleroma. That software is awesome and light weight and has interesting options. Some time ago I ran a single person Pleroma instance, that was nice - software wise. But connecting to people via Mastodon was easier. Maybe Pleroma has improved meanwhile re: that.
well, I tried plemora, diaspora, friendica…but the problems is when you begin , with no followers, it’s just an empty space.
In mastodon, the ‘noise’ in the local timelines is addictive for beginners.
