im confused. is it a ghost town, or is it full of people giving him instant ‘shit’?
Could be wrong, but possibly he’s talking about this about “getting instant shit”:

(look also at the reply)
I’ve gotten an extremely similar comment on a couple posts I’ve made here on lemmy, in a video community no less.
Personally I just said something’s like “welp, sorry that’s not your preferred format.” and then just move on.
With how infrequent posts like that are, they don’t effect me at all, but It’d probably suck more if I was consistently getting negative comments like that,
My gut instinct is to think, this is just a dumb person being mean on the Internet.
But upon reflection, no one would say this on yt, twitter, Facebook, etc. because people are sharing actual bullshit on there. You would be dunked on so hard for complaining about yt videos or just ignored. There would be no point in complaining.
On one hand it’s nice that Mastodon doesn’t have ads, and people usually don’t share bullshit, but does that logically result in attracting users who shit on someone for sharing a YouTube video, because sometimes other videos on YouTube are bad?
I like that Mastodon has actual conversations but I don’t like this guy being dumb.
“Ghost town” = Not driven to oversharing by algorithms.
“getting shit” = nobody wanting to listen to a youtuber’s outrage bait.
It must be confusing to log into the fediverse straight off of Youtube, though. “Why aren’t people compulsively clicking and subscribing to everything? How am I not being recommended radicalising posts by conspiracy theorists and terror organisations within five clicks?”
“Honey, this is Mastodon”

“Ah, much better!”
I geniunely can’t understand what you’re trying to say
Perhaps the other reply was right–this comment is what he’s talking about
