Found Mastodon boring to begin with but with a small investment of time it’s now becoming far more interesting than the bird platform. Why is that? Is it that my account is young so getting exposed to lots of different stuff that my well established Twitter account filtered out via its algorithms? I don’t really understand how this platform works and I must admit I wasn’t a fan at the start but the more I’m engaging on it the more I’m liking it.

I felt a little intimidated by “boosts, alt text, fediverse” lingo but gave myself credit for learning a few new things. While I still can’t explain “instances” I do find the people, atmosphere, and interactions here much more pleasant.
