Messed around with #Spoutible for the first time today after seeing their CEO, #ChristopherBouzy (#cbouzy), mention Mastodon on Birdsite...

First thing I noticed was that the interface has a lot more random symbols for navigation. The post button is a water droplet, and there's whales and stuff that I don't remember what they do.

Scrolling through the timelines, it was basically a few ads and a lot of Democrats posting about being Democrats. I also saw, for the first time ever, people arguing vehemently AGAINST a maximum voting age, because I guess they would be cut off by it, and seeing as the suggestion is like 65 or 70 years old, I can only assume that they are at least in their '60s...

So that's my impression, that it's elderly Democrats.

I did notice that they let you hide reposts (echoes), which is nice, and they let you hide their algorithmic feed (splashback), which is also nice.

Still don't see any reason to use this for-profit #SocialNetwork over Mastodon though...

@Bracken72 Did you read the conversation attached? It’s not about explicit pictures but the practices from #cbouzy that make me doubt we’re dealing with a serious or reliable platform here.

DEMS HOLD THE #SENATE !!
Again, #CBouzy predicted this Dem win in the #Senate days before all the high paid pundits, including Nate Silver. Glad to see him crush Frank (putz) Luntz.

This #AntiFacist moment brought to you by non-white and younger voters. #MidtermElections
