Good point. The “follower” mentality is still a foreign concept to me.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wrap my head around what goes through the average instagram user’s mind. I forget that a lot of them are eager to follow instead of lead.

Don’t listen to this person.

He’s part of a culture that can’t tolerate people doing things differently from him.

You could at least move to Pixelfed.

I doubt your instagram following is enough to make a difference from what you’d get on Pixelfed.

Hey man, you’re not alone.

I recently made a new email to get away from google and a matrix account to get away from discord. Anyone new I meet will get my matrix contact info. It will take time, but I’m in it for the long haul.

Matrix is the logical successor to discord.

We should focus on improving it instead of making something new from scratch.

Understanding why those platforms are bad is another layer of thought that most people aren’t capable or willing to engage in.
