Steve SilbermanI'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?
Paula Schaap@stevesilberman So I'm on both and I think one of the things that's happening is that people are still trying to use both sites like Twitter because that's what they're accustomed to. It would be good if a different way of interacting developed -- in each -- because Twitter has so many poisonous aspects. (Though I'm still on it, truth to tell.)
