I was never big on Twitter myself... I made an account when it first came out and never used it... and then for a high school unit for something we were required to make accounts (I graduated 10+ years ago... so that in and of itself is scary). I've never liked twitter. It always seemed to be screaming into the void.
Mastodon I really appreciate the real conversations with real people, especially when they are interested in what I have to say. I made a post about getting rid of lawns and had people from all angles of the argument discussing with me about it. It felt... healthy?!
Well, as healthy as internettin' is.
Yes, I never got into Twitter but I have an active Mastodon life. I also appreciate smaller communities where you can talk to people like you said. On big platforms I don't even bother commenting, much less making a post. It will just fall into the void.
You're right... it's just not worth it for the most part on larger platforms. I'm not sitting here trying to argue with anyone-- we can have a civilized discussion that ends in a disagreement on smaller platforms. On larger platforms it always turns into fights and pilings-on. It is gross.
