Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Fediverse is a mighty dangerous place to be in. (mondo.com)

I've created my account barely a week ago, and already l'd made nearly 200 posts. Had it been Mastodon, this number isn't a big deal. But while on piefed, this is pretty lot considering the overall span of time.

Now, the fediverse is not like the ordinary facebook or twitter. There, the posts are restricted to the platform you are using. Irrespective of how many people view your post.

But fediverse is a different ball game altogether. Here, you don't know how many have viewed your post, unless they vote on it. Here, there's also negative voting, and that might shake up your morales. While it's a fact that any given platform of the fediverse has negligible users compared to social media like Facebook and Twitter.

But the danger lies elsewhere. Here, you don't even know where your posts are reaching. And it's very difficult to form an idea about your audience.

The only way out is post with a great deal of responsibility. If there's the slightest error on your part, it doesn't take much time to reach you as feedback.

Your take on the matter please ??😊😊😊

I was actually posting pretty pictures, of strangers of course, until people started telling me all sorts of things. I had actually wanted to create a social media like Facebook and Twitter over here in the fediverse.

But ever since I have joined Piefed, l'm learning some tough lessons.

Interactions on Mastodon have been too frugal.
