Paul GrahamIt's been interesting comparing Twitter and Mastodon. One of the big differences I notice is that the ratio of mockery to substantive replies is much lower on Mastodon. So if you're going to use both, maybe Mastodon is the place to try out novel ideas first.
Jorge Arango@paulg complementary hypotheses: 1) Mastodon’s UX challenges serve as a barrier keeping non-serious people out, and 2) fewer people = lower surface area for trolling. (I.e., it’s not worth their while.)
bona fide busta@jarango lmao why do you think people who don't care about social media enough to put up with horrendous UX are "non-serious"? what is it with right-wing nerds constantly preening in public in a way that should embarrass a high-schooler?
