I tried Twitter a long time ago, and never enjoyed it.
I've been quite active on Mastodon (@loke@functional.cafe) for the last several months, and enjoying it a lot.
It's not perfect, but it gives me more satisfaction than Twitter ever could.
The biggest problem with Mastodon at the moment is discoverability. It takes some effort finding the right people to follow but I've found a reasonable group of people who are interested in things like Emacs, Lisp etc.
- rocky1138 9y agoI'd love to read more on how you found those people. I completely agree that discoverability is a huge problem.
- skinnymuch 9y agoI am really interested in how you found people too.
- lokedhs 9y agoI joined an instance which focuses on the things I'm interested in, and look at the local timeline. That timeline contains original posts (i.e. not replies) posted from that instance. I'd follow pretty much anyone posting anything remotely interesting. A lot of people tend to boost interesting posts, and following people whose posts gets boosted allows you to grow your follow list with interesting posts. Unfollowing people that keeps posting uninteresting things is also important of course.
- skinnymuch 9y agoCan you mention your instance or how you went about finding it? Sorry for more questions
