I don't think mastadon will be around that long, it's the most antisocial of the microblogging platforms
I see a lot of posts but it's very rare that there's a reply or conversation in even 1% of them
- riffic 4y agomasto, not masta
- azangru 4y agoor, rather, -odon (i.e. tooth), not -adon.
- LegitShady 4y agoI don't know anyone who isn't in computers for work who even knows what mastadon is
- robobro 4y agoI'd say the same about RSS! Still love RSS :D
- LegitShady 4y agoRSS during its heyday was much more will known since many sites had RSS badges/icons for you to add them to your reader. Mastodon is nowhere near as popular or well known as RSS and I think will never be.
- kibwen 4y ago> I see a lot of posts but it's very rare that there's a reply or conversation in even 1% of them Less than 1% of tweets have replies or conversations. Most of what people have to say just isn't interesting.
- bachmeier 4y ago> it's very rare that there's a reply or conversation in even 1% of them The interaction we used to see on Twitter is largely dead as well. Few people with followings in the thousands will engage with someone outside their small circle. Many block for trivial reasons. It's not what it was a decade ago.
- yokoprime 4y agoNot my experience at all. The people I follow have very active followers. It’s a much better experience compared with Twitter.
- ploum 4y agoI’ve been on it for the last 6 years and it has always been a very active place. Don’t confuse: "I’m discovering it now" with "it’s new and will not last long" and "Because I’m new, I don’t have the code thus very few engagement" with "there’s no engagement there".
- cokeandpepsi 4y agoI'm not new I've been "using" it on and off for almost as long
- timbit42 4y agoYet you don't even know how to spell Mastodon.
- cokeandpepsi 4y agowell that's not a good sign
- unshavedyak 4y agoInteraction probably depends on community. I have no problem interacting, conversing, etc in the Rust and Art context. It's quite nice
- robobro 4y agoStatusnet began more than 15 years ago. You don't think mastadon (sp) will be around for long. How much longer do you think it has? Mastodon began 6 years ago and has seen nothing but upward growth since.
- BaseballPhysics 4y agoWeird, my experience has been the precise opposite. I've gotten far more interactions on Mastodon than I ever did on Twitter, especially if I make sure to tag my posts appropriately. YMMV, I guess.
