genuinely, i think mastodon failed because it discouraged shitposting

I have shitposted on fedi for so many years tho, like you can't even imagine how high the pile goes

I made it here

i'm familiar with 2 instances that specialize in shitposting; beige.partyjorts.horse but since discovery is crap over there i can understand why people think mastodon is shitpost unfriendly

no one likes account names like “8jsisj827jsis87:$&&/$:!73iwuesj”

it was covered in hall monitors like this

I thought it might have failed because too many idiots like me couldn't figure out how to use it. I did not understand that place.

You might have a different and valid perspective from me on this, but I've been on Mastodon since 2018, and all I've ever done there is shitpost.

Seriously this

it did not “fail,” and there’s lots of shitposting

Mastadon has failed? And I shit post there all the time about the things which interest me. And I receive good engagement doing it. This is not a binary thing.
