I have to say, Mastodon has swiftly reduced my interest in other SM. The only platform I've been using extensively is Instagram (I have like 9 handles 🤯) and yes, the grid inspires me but the algorithms are so fuckall. I have received more appreciation here for my work @aurpera than I have on IG in all these years. I get a genuine sense of safety, respect, love and warmth here. I cannot leave IG for work reasons but I really wish for an exodus to happen from there too.
@aura @aurpera Wow, more engagement here than on IG in all these years? I wonder why people use social media if they don't get interaction with others? Is that what social media companies spend so much time making happen?
@jookia @aura @[email protected] It is to create an environment that forces us to spend money if we want any relevance. Though genuinely hope that this can lead to business opportunities.
