   @pawlicker @admin @ArdainianRight @rasterman How many Poast users even have alts on other sites? It seems like the vast majority don't even consider checking out other instances or hosting their own. I think the problem is that Poast users think other instances "aren't based enough" for them.

   Even the other "free speech" instances (including the ones that are actually more free than Poast) have libertarians, trannies, people who mostly don't care about politics/the culture war, etc which they despise, so it seems like they won't even touch them. But then again, those other instances hate Poast because admittedly the Fedi was a lot more laid-back before Poast arrived.

   Honestly, this is why I think twtxt is potentially better than the Fedi. It just being a text file hosted on any web server means that it's much easier to host. You can host it on a static-website or a git repository as opposed to setting up a Mastodon, Pleroma, GNU Social, etc server.

     Isn't the point of having instances that people can use the ones they like?
     
     >libertarians, trannies
     Your preferences have been noted. :anime_write:

     It's like niggas miss the BBS days and want to make things unnecessarily inconvenient to feel like they're back. At that point you're better off logging off and meeting outside.

     Yeah, but it's always good to have back-ups which most Poast users don't seem to understand. Even having an alt on baest or FSE is better than having no alt at all.

     Twtxt is more like RSS (which is still used by the way). It's just a protocol. There is even a web-based front-end for twtxt known as Yarn, if you want a more modern experience.

     @rasterman @ArdainianRight @admin @pawlicker Well, everyone chooses shit software. Also, it's not like Pleroma, Akkoma, or whatever can add twtxt support in addition to ActivityPub. Hubzilla already supports multiple protocols. Twtxt is basically just RSS but for social media. Any site/software can integrate it. I just like it because it makes self-hosting easier (which in turn makes it more decentralized). I have a twtxt feed on my website, but I'm mostly on here.

     @xianc78 @ArdainianRight @admin @pawlicker Unlike Mastodongs, poasters are aware of other instances existing. If they don't use them, it's their problem. No need for babysitting users.
     
     Neat software; but jumping on more obscure software just as the fediverse becomes more popular thanks to Gaylon seems like a bad idea. Unless you're running away from normies, of course.

     @Rasterman @ArdainianRight @admin @xianc78 the truth is at the same time as poast brought idiots into the fedi, it also acted as a counter to Eugen only bringing in users of one political stance and viewpoint into the fedi.
     
     See the Twitter refugees.

     @xianc78 @ArdainianRight @admin @pawlicker It seems to be lacking in features. I'm still waiting for the day they add a GUI for rich text here instead of having to learn BBcode or HTML just to emphasize nigger.
