It'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.
@paulg If you are testing this idea for sharing on Twitter please don't! 😄 It is almost certainly a function of fewer people who are early adopters than intrinsic function of the network.
