If you enjoy using Mastodon for Android, please consider leaving a positive rating or review on the Play Store, because a lot of people who do leave reviews are like this:

@Gargron done ✅ :mastodon: :apple_inc:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Refreshing social media platform.
Mastodon doesn't use algorithms to sort posts for you but rather shows you what you follow."
I'm pretty sure other people can highlight the other amazing features of Mastodon/app so it will show in the first few lines (before "see more")

@Gargron As far as I remember you can just ask them to get rid of reviews like those that got nothing to do with the app itself and they'll then scrub them.
Probably worth a try for those…

@ladon @Gargron yes but realistically the Google play store reviewers are not going to understand the difference between the app and a server
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from thibaultmol@en.osm.town
@thibaultmol @Gargron
sure, but at least you can prevent them from dragging down the rating of the app with those reviews, since they got noting to do with the status of the app itself.
Probably a bit of work to flag them all to Google but might be worth.

@ladon i mean yeah but... Google very much does not give a s***.
Their Google play store reviewing is bad let alone the reviewing of their reviews.
I have been someone who has reported various things of this nature before and I've kind of lost my patience and do more useful things of my time now
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from thibaultmol@en.osm.town
@thibaultmol It's different if you're the owner of the app as far as I remember.
If you flag them as malicious/inappropriate via Play Console they’ll get rid of them (at least in my work related experience from a year or so ago).
But yeah I agree, they don’t give a hoot if you as normal user report those…

@thibaultmol @ladon maybe leave a bad review for GMAIL: you get lots of spam & bills, and your friends don't even use email anymore

I went looking for those reviews that were critical of the platform and not the app.
I found one of the ones pictured and tagged it as not useful.
But there are a bunch of others and they seem to have legitimate grievances, at least when they were posted. (I saw some dated 2023.)
I continue to enjoy Mastodon via the web interface, which seems to work well on my phone's browser (DuckDuckGo).

@johnlogic @Gargron
This was my experience too: far more legitimate frustrations than ones about the content or the audience.
Bluesky has a very slick onboarding experience and I think the Mastodon app should basically do it almost exactly the same way. (not that I actively use Bluesky).
Edit: FWIW Im a happy Mastodon PWA user.

@Gargron I wanna say: congrats on the first person for coming out, it's not easy
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Dofain@mastodon.social
@Gargron Those are the best reviews you can get.
Sure, its not good for the app store algorithm, but they are a badge of honor.
Also a good rating in bad app stores just means more work for us mods, banning these Musk-Trump-shippers.

Five stars: far left 💪
@Gargron

@stux
five stars?
Mastodon is center, obviously.
Just the middle of the middle of the center.
No doubt.
Even the fact that Gargron blocks this profile that is just a joking millimeter at the left of the center, as social democrcy without any doubt reflects the center between capitalism und communism, is another proof that mastodon is simply one actor in the diverse fediVerse of a real free speech system for democrats.
And if we send en ambassador to kiss the ring?

@Gargron if i go to see other posts from other people i don’t follow and want to explore some new accounts, it’s absolutely like those comments stated, so they aren’t wrong, but it’s not THAT insane like bluesky is

@neekeeteen
Are you talking about the #mastodon server software, the APP for cell phones, mastodon.social, the federated mastodon instances or the #fediVerse?
If I got this right, truth.social and gab are using forks of mastodon.
Is it me or are we missing some literacy, capability of coexistance as well as programming skills here?
If the right and far right can't create their niche in this decentralized democratic not VC driven, in other words center community, it's about them not about us.

@Gargron will do
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from mr_breakfast@mastodon.social
@Gargron It is to be expected that next 4 years at least the social media will be bombarded by the pro-Trump pro-Musk cult fanatics. Bluesky and Fediverse will be under attack in media (that belongs to Musk and Republicans) most likely.

@Gargron Excellent.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from plsik@mastodon.social
@Gargron such reviews should not be allowed as it zero to do with the app at all. Like saying MS Word stinks because of the documents I'm reading in it.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from danie10@mastodon.social
@danie10 separating an App from the service that's used by it might be too much intellectual work for the average Trump voter/Elon fanboy…

@maybenot @controlc @Gargron with the amount of mdni fucks on fedi, and the lack of ways to easily filter them out, yeah i could see why
you open the federated timeline on mastodon.social and it takes you like 1 minute to find porn

@soop @maybenot @controlc @Gargron An entire minute? Like 60 seconds? Really? Okay, that's an order of magnitude longer than X, so I can understand the frustration…

@controlc @Gargron i mean, truth social did rip off mastodon at some point (literally, stole their code), so in a way they're the same thing.

@controlc @Gargron Convenient, so that people can see that Mastodon has a better rating than Troof Social!
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from ArtHarg@mastodon.nl
@controlc @Gargron I have some things to say regarding age and Mastodon. To quote a recent post I made and pinned:
"While Mastodon can be a great platform for everyone, some instances may not be suitable for young people due to the presence of mature themes/explicit content. Fortunately, most have community guidelines and moderation policies in place to address those issues. There are also third-party add-ons available that filter out explicit content."
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from TKb0iZ@mastodon.social
@TKb0iZ The visceral hate that must be on Truth Social surely deserves a mature rating.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from controlc@mastodon.social
@controlc I don't have enough verified details or experience with Truth Social, or anyone on it, to comment.
But that platform appears to be heavily politics-based, so I don't think most kids would be mature enough for it, and third party parental controls on that website may be difficult to implement to the point where it's more easier to just avoid the platform altogether.

@controlc @TKb0iZ Any platform that promotes Dear-Leader-positive content and censors Dear-Leader-negative content is perfect for children (in North Korea).

@controlc @Gargron As an aside, wow, Truth Social's logo is garbage. If I didn't know that was meant to be a T then it doesn't look like one. And it's even worse in the banner, where they've got a T shown two different ways, so that the first one still doesn't look like a T even when it's part of a word.

@Gargron just done mine! 5⭐️ I've been using 🐘 @mas.to #fediverse for over a year. I have it running on a Laptop, a Mac, a Tablet and two mobiles. It's been a revelation. Never was one for shitter, I use #Bluesky for that casual work. I am very politicos and a former professional photographer. It really covers all the bases for me. It was like an old friend by the end of a couple of months. Guides and tutorials are freely available. Dive in & enjoy.

@Gargron Wow, I had no idea... My first reaction was that a mandatory longer review text would cut down the "it's crap" opinions. But then the "prompt engineers" or whatever they are, would just spam everything with the gift that is AI.
Maybe we are just doomed (in all fronts) 😅
Anyway, five stars from me.
