I very much prefer the fediverse aka Mastodon (yes, I know) over the other text-based social networks. Especially over the one that used to be so important to me.
But it does have it downsides and I usually notice them when I am trying to see who else besides the people I follow is talking about stuff. Especially during events like the Nürburgring 24h, LeMans this weekend, in general all motorsports events. The target demographics don’t seem to overlap all that much. (And no, it’s not because I’m on a small instance. It’s the same on the hashtags on mastodon.social.) I guess the chances of enthusiasts, the racing series, teams or even drivers finding their way to our corner of the internet is really small.
Bummer. But not enough to get me to look at that place again.
