I'll just say it: I was a heavy #Twitter user, but Elon is a horrible rightwing buffoon so I've been migrating to both #Mastodon and #Post. Thus far, while there are lots of interesting people on Post, posting there feels like dropping links into a dry well. I get very little engagement, even when I use hashtags. I'm not even sure how to gauge engagement there. Mastodon feels more like a community. I know they're both evolving, but for those who are trying both, what are your feelings thus far?
@stevesilberman I go to both for different reasons. I still feel bird site can keep me more informed about ongoing politics in the US and from different individual’s own perspective, which I like. Mastodon feels more like a real community feeling. Any range of topics, people are friendly and helpful, and I really that like there’s a lot intellectual knowledge here too. They each serve a different purpose, so I will go back and forth.
