Someone has to take one for the team and keep them contained
Screw communities, i just wanna influence everywhere... great.
Big names attract followers, whether you like it or not. A certain name being on a certain platform may be the deciding factor for a hundred others. So it becoming easier to post everywhere, giving others more choice, is a good thing.
Sounds spammy.
Businesses and personalities have different sets of followers on different social platforms and this is an easier way to give everyone the same content.
Sure, some people are going to use it with spambots, but it does have legitimate purpose for real people.
Corporations aren't people
Says who? Certainly not the US justice system.
Croissant starts at $2.99 per month, or you can pay $19.99 per year or a one-time fee of $59.99. That's probably too much for casual posters, granted—McCarthy says the intended audience is really small business owners and creators "who use social media professionally, but is not their full time job."
I can see the appeal of the annual cost—even the one-time fee. If you post at least once a week, that’s 156 posts across platforms per year. Add Instagram into the mix and now you’re at 208.
I only care about Lemmy
I find myself doing a lot more commenting than original posting and so Lemmy is a much better choice for me in the way I like to use social media. I do have a mastodon account, but it's not something I go on super often. In fact, my launcher has swipe gestures and so I can just flick one finger to the right on my home screen and Thunder opens so that I can browse the latest stuff on Lemmy but I never did that for Mastodon.
For android I can recommend the Lemmy Connect app. Pretty good.
I am a big fan of Thunder, primarily, because it reminds me a lot of a Reddit app that I used to use called Red Reader. And I helped the developers implement screen reader accessibility from very near the beginning. And so, at least to my knowledge, it is one of the most accessible, lemmy clients.
I still use RedReader for Reddit, it's a lot less convenient with its swipe gestures though than Connect. Makes me automatically use Lemmy more than Reddit.
Because I use a screen reader so often I have these swipe gestures turned off because otherwise it gets really annoying.
Also Fedica.com works really well and is free.
