Notorious G.A.Y.whats interesting with #mastodon is when i migrated from the birdsite i had like 4 times as many followers as i do now but i still get more attention on my posts here its like maybe this site actually promotes more interaction 
httpeter@NotoriousGAY indeed, it does. :)
birdsite is good for reading news, though is this still social network = interaction = communication? I'd say no. It's rather (micro-)blogging and comments
