Sometimes I see posts on here like “mastodon is too serious and businesslike, it needs more selfies and shitposts” and I’m like are we even using the same website but then I remember we very literally are not

@prehensile selfies, shitposts, pictures of food, "influencers" just looking for fame and adding nothing intelligent, generally vapid behaviour.... All reasons that I just ignored my birdsite and Facebook accounts for years.

I have hope for Mastodon...

@ommoran @prehensile You literally sell insurance in your bio lmfao

You're exactly the kind of person most people here are trying to escape

This isn't LinkedIn and if it ever becomes LinkedIn it well have failed miserably

@hazelnot @prehensile I actually don't sell it, but it has been my career. Showing interest by displaying a hashtag shouldn't be considered otherwise.

Gatekeeping was also an unpleasant reality on the bird site. It would be nice if that didn't follow us here.

@ommoran @prehensile Nothing's following you anywhere, you're the one coming over here and turning the place into LinkedIn
