Why this over Mastodon?
User-uploadable custom feeds, which aren't really possible with ActivityPub

Thank you, great feature.
Depends on the kinds of accounts you follow. Mastodon is all technical users - so not many celebrities who aren't in technical fields.
that's the reason why I don't use Mastodon. there are a lot of tech and politics related things, and I am not tech savvy
When corporations inevitably arrive to the platform, we can use it to shame them into offering a decent service after they ignore our calls and emails.
Good billionaire owner who sold his stuff to evil one.
Put that descriptor in air finger quotes please: “good “
I thought this was the network for "bright people" ;-) They are really thinking to join.
I posted the same comment without joking a month ago. A more direct one. See its score: https://lemm.ee/comment/7775363
Yeah agreed. In his case though I was referring less to the fact he’s a billionaire (which is actually more relevant than what I was thinking about it) than that I used to think he was one of the “good ones” but then later learned to enough about him (but not much, still) to not be impressed anymore.
The level of hypocrisity at Europe is really beyond limits but the fact that there aren't insane level rich entities in Europe is really something worth bragging about.
It is not just about jack, what annoys me is people with minimum income thinks there are heroic riches who are acting against the order. That is evil PR in action.
It has some features Id love to see on ActivityPub like account migration between servers, and people are already working on bridges between the protocols so it will basically be able to federate, at least with mastodon. I was also skeptical but if they keep it open source and let it play nice with AP protocall I wont be mad at it. Sure I'd prefer them pushing AP further than doing their own thing but for whatever reason I'm willing to give more benefit of the doubt to them than a service like threads.
