I Quit Mastodon
Social media just isn't for me. I tried it but if, like me, you expect
to find people that'll actually interact with you and not just
retweet/share/retoot your stuff you'll be disappointed.
Twitter has its problems, Mastodon has its too - Twitter didn't just
suck because it was centralized, but because it's design is to engage
people by making being social seem like it's just one button-press away
when in reality it isn't.
Mastodon copies twitter in the exact same way.
This is not to say you can't get value out of these sites or ~services~.
More power to you if it actually improves your day... in some way.
From my own experience it hasn't, I was willing to try it all but I left
disappointed. If you wanted to improve the way this worked, get rid of
followers, get rid of likes/shares and get people to actually talk to
eachother.
People will just share comedy images/jokes for followers and attention
otherwise. No matter the service. It's a never-ending popularity contest.
This is just my opinion. It works for millions of others, just not for me.
There's a few of my friends who feel the same way. We're not alone.
I guess I'll just stick to IRC :(
