Hey everyone I did a cartoon for the Guardian about why Mastodon is my favourite microblogging site. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/07/twitter-is-burning-bluesky-is-smug-where-is-the-best-place-to-do-your-pathetic-doomscrolling
Twitter is burning, Bluesky is smug. Where is the best place to do your pathetic doomscrolling?

Here is First Dog on the Moon’s handy guide to the dystopian social network you should be on

@firstdogonthemoon All day, I have had one reply on Mastodon. I'm sending messages into a void. I'm not here to send, I'm no 'influencer'. I'm here to connect. And it's really, really hard

OK, an utterly random stranger from 10,000 km away just followed you. So there.

You have 1.4K followers; I have 23.

And I'm still having a fairly good time just with a feed of self-appointed comedians, plus journos and podcasters that want attention for commercial reasons, so they complain about all stupid politics all day long.

It's low entertainment, and I should be watching "Hamlet" or something, but there you have it.
