To me that's kind of the point of Mastodon actually. It's not a 24/7 engagement machine. I scroll down a bit, and I'm already looking at posts from December 5.
But what's in between is pretty much that I wanted to see, and it doesn't try to raise my blood pressure in an effort to keep me watching ads and angrily firing off messages at people.
Of course it's going to look unimpressive stats-wise compared to Twitter, but to me that's the very point. I don't want infinite crap. I want less, but good.
- tptacek 3y agoI scrolled down to the bottom of my new-posts column in Ivory, pulling to make it load more posts, and then down again and I'm on tomorrow. And I follow less than half as many people as I follow on Twitter. For the kinds of technical discussions I follow, it clearly isn't dead. Maybe security and networking and cryptography is just distinctively on Mastodon?
