Did somebody tell you it's too confusing?

I think this is the way we should communicate, when presented with the question on how to get on Mastodon:

Copy paste from the link:

How do I use Mastodon?

  • Download the Mastodon app from the Apple app store or Play store.

  • Create an account (just like Twitter or any other social media)

  • Follow people, and get posting.

Why do tech journalists say it’s too confusing to catch on?

I have no fucking idea.

EDIT for clarification, don’t take this too seriously:

This “guide” is a bit of a joke made out of frustration. If you actually want to know more, including why I feel it has potential to free us from the dystopian hellscape that is modern social media, here is the “real” guide to Mastodon. It still uses simple language (and has lots of pictures!):

    Unfortunately, it looks like Fedilab is a mobile app only.

    Also, I’ve installed it on Android and the default does not show the OP above with replies grouped below.

    Looking at its settings, maybe one might affect completely missing OPs, “Remote Conversations”. I’ve enabled it and will see how it goes.

    I can’t find any setting to make it show replies grouped below the OP.

      Correct, it is mobile only. Unfortunately, I think I must be misunderstanding what you’re saying about the OP stuff. This is my view, the way I think about it at least, these are all “OPs”, ones with a plus sign next to the leftward arrow have comments.

      And then if I tap, I get the op with its comments underneath it.
