@rl_dane @cameron_bosch @libreoffice yeah I saw that one too and both are hilarious and great testaments to the Brain Rot that is Twitter

@libreoffice why not just leave the Nazi platform?

@libreoffice It's interesting how people over there are claiming no one is here, Mastodon is too hard to use, blah blah blah—meanwhile, this post here is getting significantly more engagement than that post over there.
Anyway, thank you for doing the right thing.
️seriously the replies are hilarious
"So please delete your account here, otherwise stop annoying people with your moral compass"
"Decentralized is not the future"
"I never understood why Open Source should mean pretending to be poor and small"
"Mastadon is already quite terrible when you start with it I fucking hate INSTANCES"
"But Mastodon is communist"
"Mastodon is fascist social media"

@libreoffice Excellent. Thanks for making the switch to an open social platform.

@benroyce They were already here since 2019.
i know and you can find plenty of posts by me shaming people still on twitter *in general*
my point is just that when an account makes a commitment to here, doesn't matter when they opened the account here or closed the account there, we should simply applaud and welcome them in direct interaction with them
it's just the smart way to go about it

I don't think that people are lying?
You could argue that they "just" need to put in a bit more effort, but maybe it's best to find ways to further improve the user experience?
There's some really low hanging fruit, like https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/37690.
@stefan @SciPolTech @ghouston @oblomov @libreoffice people are "lying" because they're discounting that their friend groups are the ones who educate them.
"There's this new site called Facebook, let me help you sign up." Followed by "everyone can see the message you just wrote.
Let me show you how to..." etc.Expecting zero friction is exhausting.

@libreoffice Thanks you for reducing use of X, I find it very hard to support projects that still use it.

@Schimmelreiter @libreoffice already happening haha
@mcbaumwolle @Schimmelreiter @libreoffice And they say Mastodon's an echo chamber! I guess they latched onto the "it's too complicated" narrative from 2022.

my favorite is sebastian with the fake AI cat pic avatar who asks if the libreoffice followers here are real and no bots

@f4grx @libreoffice Most of them do not know about Mastodon. That's why.
@apnoe_soeren @libreoffice and some of those who do have very wrong misconceptions about it

@mcbaumwolle @libreoffice Based on what I can see here, you might as well cut X use off completely. https://xcancel.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158

@libreoffice
Great.
Next step is to dump the Nazi oligarch's platform altogether. -

@libreoffice Glad to see more organizations and projects posting on the Fediverse.
I think 1.5K boosts and 2.3K favorites proves people actually do use Mastodon.

@wavefunction I don't know, I'm still just not really convinced that people lying about how difficult Mastodon/fediverse is being a major reason people prefer Bluesky.
But then you also say people expect zero friction.
Is this actually true? Any way to back this up?
People complain about user experience on Bluesky all the time. No edit button. No private posts. Etc. And as Bluesky slowly works towards greater decentralization, we'll see more challenges.
But I trust that there will be more attention put towards easing those there, rather than blame the user.

@libreoffice nice! Can anyone tell me how good their excel alternative is? I wanna try it out
@pricklypear @libreoffice try it - it won't cost you anything
It's more than adequate for my use, but then I'm not in accounting with horrendous spreadsheets that should really be a database instead
