Mastodon is feeling pretty dead to me y'all
@caseynewton This one is kind of void of anything interesting. Try .technology, and securitymastod.one/ also :)
@caseynewton Oh, nevermind, your original account is .social lol . I would expect that one to be lively?
@caseynewton It's all about the šŸ†
@caseynewton it's not that it's dead so much as it's Japanese. I still can't find my friends; they are all on different instances
@caseynewton I just think you need some brands to engage with
@caseynewton I think the biggest problem is discovery. It's so hard to find anyone I know or know of, and the federated timeline has basically become useless now
@caseynewton since mastodons are extinct is that a sign for the platform too?
@grant it may be grant. It may be
@caseynewton @grant This kid in my class is talking about it right now. I've quickly realized his presentation is out of data. This is a FIRE not a TOOT. Do I correct him??
@grant @caseynewton He's talking about it whether it will kill Twitter or not. "Twitter seems to be losing followers" does this guy read the fucking news?? They're growing slowly but losing revenue. "Maybe the interface is getting old" Is this guy for real?

@caseynewton you know what the problem was, is I was working

no time to toot

@caseynewton What were u talking about Casey
@caseynewton
Sorry, I've just been a bit busy lately.
@caseynewton Casey... you are better than this.
@caseynewton Why does Mastodon feel dead?
@thebiologist1117 @caseynewton *that's a good question*. even though the original post is from 2017, I was there and had *plenty* of content on my timeline.
@DavidBlue @caseynewton I was 16 back then!
@thebiologist1117 @caseynewton I suppose I was 23... so when I look back on "my twenties," I won't remember parties or impromptu traveling or whatever the fuck... I'll just remember relentlessly... fruitlessly... trying to get my friends to try Mastodon lol.
@caseynewton how do we bring it to life though?
@caseynewton my original Mastodon instance doesn’t even exist anymore šŸ™ˆ
@caseynewton LOL this tweets aging is going to be interesting šŸ„‚
@EmilyTav @caseynewton I don't know why but I've seen this tweet for like the 10th time since I joined šŸ˜‚
@EmilyTav @caseynewton I now realise we both said "tweet".
@params @caseynewton oh I didn’t even notice! That’s going to be a tough habit to break :)
@caseynewton @EmilyTav @params
You just subconsciously wanted to avoid saying ā€œthis toot’s aging is going to be interestingā€
@caseynewton Not anymore, Casey, not anymore. Pls come, stay a while.
@caseynewton that's just the quality filter. Enjoy!
@goranmajic @caseynewton true story. No more elon musk tweet on my timeline despite i repeated opt for not interested
@caseynewton weird. for anyone else having the same problem, this appears to be casey’s most recent post in his main feed but if you open his secondary feed with replies included you can see he’s extremely active on here now. maybe a strange glitch at least for certain clients (i’m on metatext)
