Here's one difference between #Mastodon and #Post (I'm not a fan of Post): I posted (at Post) a question about how something works over there. I got 2 "thumbs up" but no answers.

If I do that here, I get a wonderful onslaught of suggestions, replies helping me through the issue.

This has been a public service announcement.

@GottaLaff I feel like there is way more interaction here, than on Post & largely positive. There you post something and it’s crickets. Over there many people want to follow others and read “thought leaders.” I am happy reading those people but I don’t put them above nonfamous people. It feels like a monetized popularity contest over there. Plus almost everyone I meet here seems like a really cool person I’d like in real life! That’s awesome! So many interesting smart progressive folx!
@crutherford I agree. Apples/oranges.
