If you're recommending Mastodon and the wider Fediverse to organisations, friends, family or colleagues, don't worry if they say no. You have done something really important simply by making them aware of it as an option.
Most people and organisations don't immediately try stuff they hear about. Usually they need to hear it mentioned by a few different sources before they actually try it.
By being one of those sources, you're nudging them closer to actually trying it 👍

Sad thing is ... too many people don't want to just communicate with like minded people, gain knowledge or just have a chat ... they are so mean, unloved and miserable, they want to make everybody else miserable too ...

I think it's one of those things where people think they are choosing something, but when they're given a chance to properly try an alternative a lot of people do switch to the alternative.
Like... a lot of people eat junk food, but if they're given easy access to high quality tasty food a lot will switch.
It's easy to get stuck in a certain way if those are the only options available to you.
I'm not saying it'll work for everyone, but I think it's worth trying 🙂

Some of us do both :)
I'm still on Metabook because family and real life friends are and they occasionally ask if I'm still alive :)
Still on Xitter because that's the way to read my preferred Independent News Sources ... and I'm hopeful of seeing a big fall :)
As for junk food ... don't like the taste and the Fish & Chip shop I used to use when grandies were children, is too far away now ...
When Mastodon first made an appearance a lot of people on Xitter announced they were leaving and registered here ... never seen their ID pop up though ... they went to Bluesky ... then back on Xitter :)
Oh yeah, I'm on there too ... haven't been back for months though ...
So it's Xitter for finding out what the government is doing, and here for the linked articles and chats :)
