mastodon has a terrible name sorry... I know that sounds stupid but it sounds way too close to masturbate or masticate.

Just joined, I've never went through a more complex setup process in my life. I had to go to joinmastodon, then find a server/website, signup on that 3rd party website, then find yet another 3rd party app for my platform, then find that 3rd party server in the app, and now I can't find anybody to follow. One server has 10,000 people, another 50,000, another 2000, another 500,000, etc. All these different servers and apps to choose from makes no sense. If it's this confusing for a developer, how to do they expect users to join without going through the headache I just went through?

Frankly speaking I have no idea about Mastodon either. All I did was submit a link which seemed interesting, because Musk's tantrums have made Twitter always in the news. Thought an alternative version of twitter would be interesting to discuss about.

Sucks that you had to go through so much hassle, just trying to figure the platform out. My bad :(

Just joined, I’ve never went through a more complex setup process in my life. I had to go to an e-mail provider, then find a username, signup on that 3rd party website, then find yet another 3rd party app for my platform, then find that 3rd party server in the app, and now I can’t find anybody to write e-mails to. One server has 10,000 people, another 50,000, another 2000, another 500,000, etc. All these different servers and apps to choose from makes no sense.
