@evan I'm not sure how I feel on Mastodon, though I do erase garbage posted on my Facebook wall and my YouTube channel.
@Moosader so, if that's a valuable feature of other networks, why wouldn't you want it here?

@evan It just feels different in a way, which is why I said I wasn't sure. My YouTube channel is where I post my videos and I curate that, my Facebook I post about my life and photos and such and I curate that.

I suppose Mastodon feels more like an open forum, where traditionally on Message Boards or something like Reddit, you can't just delete someone else's comment.

I would love to delete annoying replies from people on Mastodon, though. Total strangers are just needlessly snarky sometimes.

@evan @Moosader

Facebook is way more personal than Mastodon?

@FuckElon @evan my extended family, the siblings I was taken away from as a kid, and most of my friends are non technical and find something like Mastodon scary. Even when I was on Twitter, it was mostly online friends, not people I was around in my day to day life.

So yes, microblogging platforms like this feel like more of a network of similar professionals and hobbyists, while who views and can post on my Facebook is meant for closer relationships.

@Moosader @evan

That is exactly why I only have this one...😜
