how hard do you have to fuck up posting to turn into a main character on *mastodon*.

@davidgerard was thinking earlier about the peculiar contempt a lot of BlueSky users have for fedi, & I think you've stumbled on one of its roots:

It's much easier to be a main character, there.

Even as every person who wants to be seen as sane will tell you 'being the main character is BAD', in their heart they still want it, & sense that it's harder on Fedi.

@FeralRobots @davidgerard I keep explaining the difference to people that "social" media these days isn't actually about your social connections any more: Mastodon is just about the last place where you have conversations, rather than An Audience. #ParaSocialMedia

@spacehobo @davidgerard
yeah that's a solid point. I do sometimes have conversations, there, but for various reasons it's much more likely to go that way here.
