microblogging is something used on a much more personal level while i think forum style social media is mostly for looking for answers and posting things you do, but microblogging social media sites are for that too. also, this is not meant to be offensive, but i think that since mastodon has been in the works for like a long time, it looks more polished than modern websites, so that can be an advantage it has
Yup. And i fucking hate Microblogging. Hate it so dam much. Man, there are new social media apps coming out all the time, and they ALL follow that fucking format. I can’t fucking stand it.
I love it though. I find it so much fun.
Although maybe I’d find forumming as fun as microblogging if the people here were nicer.
I mean, I get you. I really do. Given a choice between all of them? I choose NOSTR. Bc you can say whatever the fuck you want on there.
I feel the difference between them, and reason most ppl like/perfer Microblogging, is bc Microblogging has LESS RESTRICTIONS in comparison to forums.
So I do get that part. Who wants to follow a bunch of fuckin rules that some jackass on a power trip made? That’s no fun, people want and like having the freedom to express themselves.
Maybe that’s one reason why they’re more popular now.
Nostr is fine but I find the frontends to be janky. Plus there is some community bleed due to the bridges that have been created between Nostr and the Fediverse.
Forum software is best for asking questions and I’d ask more here but nobody would even read those questions if I did lol
Yea, they kinda are. But there’s a lot of them though. Freeser, whostr, and primal are easy on the eyes. I use amethyst though.
PSSHH! I would answer them! Lol there’s not much personal content on here bc of privacy concerns, so I don’t see AITA or Vent type of posts. Which are the ones I like.
Lemmy is mostly politics, Linux, techy, and web links.
