I've been using mastodon over the last few days and the difference between tech twitter and mastodon tech instances are dramatic. People engaging with my content has gone way up compared to twitter. I feel like unless you have a ton of followers on twitter, you get completely lost in the shuffle. Joining smaller instances increases the chances that your post will get noticed.
Also, joining tech focused instances means the content you are reading is almost exclusively about tech. Twitter has mechanisms to filter the content you want, but it feels totally different and a little forced.
For example, my sidebar has entertainment news articles on Twitter. I don't want to see that crap on my page.
- rchaud 4y ago"Tech Twitter" has been heading towards lowest-common-denominator content targeted at beginners and wantrepreneurs, for a few years now. Those audiences engage a lot more. And it's easier to throw in click bait content or low-density information threads, because the audience cannot yet tell the difference.
- qudat 4y agoI totally agree. I’ve been having a blast on mastodon.
