I swear, we are still talking about this platform stuff all wrong. There is absolutely no comparison between my mastodon engagements and those anywhere else. People here are just far more interested in engaging people and ideas than any other site where the biggest activity seems to be following celebrity accounts and popular influencers discussing very little. It’s a completely different kind of experience.
@shoq I'm glad to hear this. I just signed up, because X has gotten mean and nasty and I just want to connect with people and really engage on a level that creates real conversations.
@MissTakenLee @shoq well said Shoq. So true. I learn so much from the conversations here.
Welcome to the fediverse MissTakenLee!
@mike @MissTakenLee Thanks Mike. I like saying things that should be said. By someone. Anyone.
What I find most interesting is that despite some views to the contrary, it’s not the tech making the fediverse interesting. It’s all the people making a sustained effort to make it interesting.
@shoq @MissTakenLee Totally. The people are the point. The tech needs to be in service to the community rather than the other way around. I think this is what Elon and others often fail to understand.
