Mastodeez nuts
Me opening the door thinking you’re referring to the band
Okay, so I never used Twitter but figured I’d give Mastodon a try.
But what do you even do there? Is it just a place where you wait for specific people to shout into the void? And then what?
Also how do I even find interesting subjects or people to follow?I just love the fact that Mark Ruffalo is using Mastodon
I always had the same issue the few times I tried to use mastodon and twitter.
Yes?
You can also shout into the void yourself. Eventually somebody might notice and reply.
You can watch the local or federated timelines and if someone says something interesting you can follow them and reply. Or you if you get linked from elsewhere to a good post you can follow the author. Or you can see a list of popular hashtags (or look up a hashtag) and see posts in them, or post to them.
What else is there supposed to be to do there?
My favorite metal band??
I THINK THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME
I saw them when they opened for Primus. Killer show.
I thought we’re gonna talk about a music band, aren’t we?
I saw them for the first time during the Unheavenly Skye tour.
My first time seeing Coheed too!
It was one hell of a show.

Lemmy is Reddit. Mastodon is Twitter.
Lemmy Not reddit Mastodon Not twitter thats how i wrote it in my about
I’m having fun there, though there are a good amount of spammers there already.
Problem for me is that Twitter for me is about the official announcement-y things which aren’t leaving lol. It’s not great, but for football news all the journalists are still there, and so are the clubs.
The way to get that to change is to not go to Twitter, and if any of those people have another outlet, read and interact with that one.
Problem is, they don’t, lol.
You could suggest they go to Mastodon and reference other companies which do. There are probably easy integrations for them so that they can just automate their tweets to both Mastodon and Twitter at the same time.
who do you think I am lol and what influence
Ideas stand for themselves. A lot of times tweets are just run by some intern anyway.
Looking forward to Book of Mastodon, the musical
I think I’d rather keep Mastodon small and quirky. The moment it starts to feel like twitter, I’m off.
Honestly, I feel like Mastodon is kinda never going to be like Twitter, even if its user count were to grow by two orders of magnitude. There are several reasons why, as the other replies point out, but the most important (IMO) is that Mastodon is just not a profit-driven platform. And if Mastodon is not a profit-driven platform, it is not designed to maximize user engagement. And if it is not designed to maximize user engagement, it is not designed to encourage toxic behavior.
At the risk of sounding like a door-to-door fediverse evangelist: the good thing about mastodon is you can always move to a small and quirky instance, or even start your own small and quirky instance and defederate from any parts that you don’t like.
